Requested move 29 March 2017[edit]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. @カビル: if you disambiguate incoming links to MBC Drama then you can retarget that redirect to this article, perhaps including a hatnote on the top of this article. Let me know if you need help with this! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:43, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MBC Drama (MENA) → MBC Drama – MBC Drama is currently a redirect to MBC Plus Media, the company that owns the previously mentioned South Korean channel. However, an eponymous channel exists in the MENA region, and has its own article on Wikipedia (MBC Drama (MENA); So, MBC Drama would rather be the name of the MENA's channel than the South Korean one, that has not an article here.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 03:37, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase 'MBC Drama' could refer to a product of the Middle East Broadcasting Center or it could refer to a product of the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, a Korean company. Both of these firms have entries on the DAB page for MBC. If the phrase 'MBC Drama' is to be taken away from a Korean meaning and given a Middle Eastern meaning, there should probably be some kind of a discussion first. People could give WP:PRIMARYTOPIC arguments. Or perhaps there is a better system. Maybe MBC Drama could become a DAB page that lists both the Middle Eastern and the Korean meaning.

South Korean MBC Drama doesn't have an entry on Wikipedia, contrary to MENA's MBC Drama, so I think WP:PRIMARYTOPIC applies here. In addition, MENA's MBC Drama is broadcast in more than 23 countries, which gives it the privilege. — Sincerely カビル 08:40, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose - Scrapping out "(MENA)", which stands for Middle East and North Africa, would confuse readers. "MBC Drama" is often associated with the Korean TV channel. If the current title looks less clear, how about MBC Drama (MENA TV network) or MBC Drama (MENA TV channel). --George Ho (talk) 05:01, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
