University at Albany, SUNY → University at Albany – The brand identity of Albany states the only acceptable forms are "University at Albany" and "UAlbany". Obviously, this isn't the end-all-be-all, but "SUNY Albany" and "University of Albany" are explicitly called out in the "never use these" section (though not our current title of University at Albany, SUNY). Still, "University at Albany" appears to more common than "University at Albany, SUNY", looking at Google Trends for the last 12 months (this holds up over 5 years as well).
A couple of previous discussions on the title for this page (the 2017 RM, the moves in 2008) have stated potential confusions with institutions like Albany State College and institutions in Albany, Western Australia, but the first few pages of google search results under "University at Albany" in quotation marks only show results for this university. The last move request was closed as no consensus with the note that there were more GHits on a generic google search for the SUNY version, which is certainly no longer the case, either with or without quotation marks, even accounting for the fact that University at Albany will include results for University of Albany, SUNY given the fact that it's a part of the string (with quotation marks, it's 3.4mil for University at Albany vs 1.1mil for University at Albany, SUNY, which is over 3x as many).
