Requested move 13 December 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Clear support and precedence to drop "channel" from the title. Selected the title suggested by Necrothesp per MOS:AMP. (closed by non-admin page mover) —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 15:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Disney XD (British and Irish TV channel) → Disney XD (UK & Ireland) – I'm citing the RM at Talk:Channel 33 (Israel) and and WP:NCBC#Disambiguation as the rationale for this RM; pinging Number 57 to weigh in on this, as he/she did over there. I feel that DAB is unnecessary since "Disney XD" has no other composition apart from on TV (video-on-demand and/or streaming came in or embraced it recently).

Oppose per guideline. If you have an issue with the guideline, start a RFC and change it. Gonnym (talk) 16:19, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've tweaked the rationale now; see the two links aside "Number 57" for clarity. An RFC of some sort on this has been proven already. Intrisit (talk) 13:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support per the guideline, which explicitly mentions Disney Channel as an example: Where it can be reasonably expected that all of the articles with the same base name will be of the same type, e.g. radio stations named "Fresh FM" or television channels with the name Disney Channel, disambiguation can be done by country and then by state/province or city if necessary (e.g. Fresh FM (Netherlands); Bay FM (Brisbane)). The guideline states that "channel" is only necessary where the title shares a name with unlike topics. As can be seen at Disney Channel (disambiguation), all other Disney Channel articles are on the same type of topic. Number 5 7 19:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support The proposed RM and Number 57's comments correctly read my intention in that section of NCBC when I rewrote it in 2021 (after the Channel 33 (Israel) page move). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comment. Neutral, but if moved it should be to Disney XD (United Kingdom and Ireland). Ampersands are best avoided and we usually spell out the name of the United Kingdom in full. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:09, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Show me which WP/MOS guideline spells that/those out! Mind, redirects are cheap despite the titling of "(UK & Ireland)" and "(United Kingdom and Ireland)". Have a look at other titles with these DABbers, especially the TV channels. Intrisit (talk) 13:42, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's MOS:AMP. Bensci54 (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
