The result of the move request was: moved to News Journal (Kentucky). Jenks24 (talk) 03:04, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

News Journal (Corbin) → News Journal (Corbin, Kentucky) – "Corbin, Kentucky" because "Corbin" is not one of the WP:USPLACE self-evident AP Stylebook city names. (It appears that the printed newspaper uses just News Journal from what I can see on Google images, but the website adds "The" and ".net".) Relisted.

Better yet, move to News Journal (Kentucky). It's more WP:CONCISE, adequately distinguishes the subject from other publications of the same name, and also reflects that the paper's business and coverage are not limited to Corbin. --BDD (talk) 13:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. WP:USPLACE does not apply here, and per WP:TITLECHANGES, absent any good reason to change, it should not be moved. kennethaw88 • talk 02:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Support Neither "Corbin" nor "Kentucky", by themselves, sufficiently disambiguate and describe the subject. I doubt the vast majority of readers automatically associate "Corbin" with Kentucky, especially since there appear to be several places with that name. Likewise, "Kentucky" is a big place, and this newspaper does not, as far as I can tell, purport to cover the entire state, but rather three small counties in the southeast corner of the state. I think it is important that the title sufficiently disambiguates "Corbin" and communicates the regional nature of the publication. Acdixon ^{(talk · contribs)} 15:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

How exactly do neither of these sufficiently disambiguate? Of all the titles at News Journal (disambiguation), only this one is printed/located/distributed in a place called Corbin or Kentucky. The purpose of the parentheses is to disambiguate News Journal, not Corbin.

Oppose per kennethaw88. "Corbin" is only there to distinguish from other articles titled News Journal. Would not mind a move to News Journal (Kentucky) as the paper appears to serve more than Corbin.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:20, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
