Talk:American Broadcasting Company: Difference between revisions

Line 185:
* '''Oppose'''. Again repeating myself: Per [[WP:NCDAB]], natural disambiguation is generally preferred over parenthetical disambiguation. This is especially true for a worldwide readership where there are multiple meanings to "ABC" with equal worldwide significance. This includes the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]].

*'''Support''' anything to acknowledge the clear reality presented by the nom. People don't regularly call it "American Broadcasting Company" and this does not quantify with common name where it matters. So what if {{no redirect|ABC (broadcaster)}} is not the ideal name. If a better option can be chosen then another move can be made. I might even suggest {{no redirect|ABC (American Broadcasting Company)}}.

::Because this is not the US Wikipedia, it is the Englishlanguage Wikipedia. Clear US-bias in the name proposed. Furhter fails [[WP:PRECISE]] because multiple broadcasters called ABC, so is insufficient to identify the topic. Your own suggestion fails [[WP:CONCISE]] since it is longer than the current title for no obvious benefit -- [[Special:Contributions/65.94.40.137|65.94.40.137]] ([[User talk:65.94.40.137|talk]]) 05:52, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' per [[WP:NATDIS]] for at least the fifth time. No matter what the proposed title is utterly unacceptable as there are many broadcasters named ABC, so it is utterly ambiguous. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 14:49, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
*'''Oppose & Speedy Close''' - ABC is more than just a broadcaster. The [[American Broadcasting Company]] also does radio and has a joined partnership with [[The Walt Disney Company]] called [[Disney-ABC Television Group]]. Also, your proposed name; "ABC (broadcaster)" could refer to the [[Australian Broadcasting Company]]. We just voted to oppose, so why open another proposal?
