The result of the move request was: Procedural close as the convention on Hong Kong serials is discussed at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television). No prejudice to reopening this after the matter there is resolved. (non-admin closure) George Ho (talk) 19:32, 12 May 2017 (UTC)Reply


My Family (Hong Kong TV series)My Family (HK TV series)WP:NCA: "Acronyms as disambiguators: To save space, acronyms should be used as disambiguators, when necessary." One editor is opposing the move because they erroneously assume WP:NCTV requires "full country name". This is false, as the guideline clearly prefers "U.S. TV series" and "UK TV series". Then they claim HK isn't intuitive. We even have articles like The Nurses (ABC TV series), with ABC being a highly ambiguous acronym, unlike HK which is primarily associated with Hong Kong. Does anyone think The Nurses (American Broadcasting Company TV series) is a good idea? WP:CRITERIA: "The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize."
