The result of the move request was: no consensus.
We have 3 editors (including the proposer) supporting a move per WP:COMMONNAME and 3 editors opposing per WP:NATURAL, so there is no consensus for the proposed move. There are also 3 editors supporting an alternative move Sewanee → Sewanee (disambiguation) with Sewanee: The University of the South → Sewanee. That move would be procedurally incorrect per WP:RMCI: A move request about moving X to Y should never be closed in such a way as to require page Z to move if Z wasn't listed in the original move request. In any case, it isn't clear whether there's a consensus for that move. As this RM has closed with no consensus, a fresh RM may be presented for the alternative proposal, including both pages, if editors consider this would be a desirable move.

Sewanee: The University of the South → Sewanee (university) – WP:COMMONNAME. The current name is redundant and stilted (and probably fails WP:THE). Except for very few formal contexts, the university is typically referred to by one name or the other, not both at the same time. All three people who commented on the previous RM two and a half years ago said that the common name is simply "Sewanee". As commented in 2010, "Sewanee" even appears on the university's diplomas. — BarrelProof ( talk) 17:20, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Is the Sewanee News alumni magazine still around? I'm reading a copy of it on Internet Archive from 1978 and it's quite good. It's amazing what a difference it can make when a school has a literary tradition to uphold. Most old magazines from 1978 are barely readable today, but this stands out and passes the test of time. If it is still around, maybe mention it in the article in the alumni section? Other university articles, such as Stanford, mention the alumni magazines.
