– Another proposal to move some cable TV channel articles to the correct "by country" disambiguation, as per WP:NCBC (and WP:NCTV). --IJBall (contribstalk) 19:56, 6 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 19:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.   samee  converse  18:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking about readers – those that don't know that "Animal Planet" is a TV channel (of which there are plenty). Which is why the guideline is currently written the way it is. Again, as per Gonnym above, if people don't like the guideline, then propose an RfC to change it. Until the happens, WP:NCBC should be followed. --IJBall (contribstalk) 13:22, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But that is not the purpose of the disambiguator. If there were only one show of this name, the Australian one for example, we wouldn't have a disambiguator at all, whether people know it's a TV show or not. The reason for the term in parentheses is for those readers who already know about the Australian show (but maybe not the Canadian one), come here looking for it, and have a need to choose their show over the others. For them, it is the Australia that matters, not the TV series bit, which all of them have in common. It sounds like NCTV does need to change because it is asking us to name articles in ways which are contrary to policy and established disambiguation practice, but that is not a prerequisite for us to maintain this current title, given that WP:AT favours it.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
