Does they have balloons and confetti in the 2013 gala at the stroke of midnight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.157.172 (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately Wikipedia is not a crystal ball (and if it were, I'm not sure that's the kind of query I would pursue). I suppose you'll have to wait and see in 2013. Homunculus (duihua) 20:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

CCTV New Year's Gala → CCTV Spring Festival Gala – The original title of this article, "CCTV New Year's Gala", is so misleading. Here are my reasons: First, New Year is usually refered to New Year in Gregorian calendar. There is undoubted that New Year in Gregorian calendar is begun by New Year's Day, January 1 every year in Gregorian calendar, so Galas to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar are usually held and broadcasted on New Year's Eve, December 31 every year in Gregorian calendar. However, this article mainly talks about China Central Television (CCTV) Galas to celebrate Chinese New Year (also known as "Spring Festival"), usually held and broadcasted on Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the twelfth month (except the intercalary month) every lunar year in traditional Chinese calendar. Second, China Central Television (CCTV) also usually holds and broadcasts Galas to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar, on New Year's Eve, December 31 every year in Gregorian calendar. The earliest CCTV Gala to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar was held and broadcasted in 1980s. (see 百度百科 "元旦晚会", 百度百科 "跨年晚会", 百度百科 "中央电视台跨年盛典", 百度百科 "2010-2011中央电视台跨年盛典", 百度百科 "启航2012——中央电视台元旦晚会", 百度百科 "启航2013——中央电视台元旦晚会", 百度百科 "启航2014", 百度百科 "启航2015", 百度百科 "启航2016", 百度百科 "启航2017——中央电视台新年音乐会", [https://wapbaike.baidu.com/item/%E5%90%AF%E8%88%AA2018%E2%80%94%E2%80%94%E4%B8%AD%E5%A4%AE%E7%94%B5%E8%A7%86%E5%8F%B0%E6%96%B0%E5%B9%B4%E6%99%9A%E4%BC%9A? 百度百科 "启航2018——中央电视台新年晚会"], 百度百科 "启航2019——中国音乐盛典"). In conclusion, in order to avoid misleading, I think this article should be renamed as "CCTV Spring Festival Gala". If possible, English Wikipedia can rewrite an article named as "CCTV New Year's Gala", which mainly talks about CCTV Galas to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar.

 * Oppose This is English wikipedia, please provide English reliable source. Also wapbaike.baidu is another community encyclopedia, which is not a reliable source. Matthew hk (talk) 22:44, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
 * According to enough reasons I gave above, it is proper and reasonable to rename this article as "CCTV Spring Festival Gala". It is unnecessary to give another source.

 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. New Year’s Gala is much more commonly used. Esiymbro (talk) 05:36, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I know at present, you live in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China. I also know you are a Chinese native speaker, and have advanced knowledge of English. Thus, you have the ability to distinguish "Chinese New Year" (also known as "Spring Festival") from "New Year" (usually refered to New Year in Gregorian calendar). Today is January 1, 2019, New Year's Day. Yesterday, December 31, 2018, New Year's Eve, CCTV Gala to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar was held and broadcasted (see 百度百科 "启航2019——中国音乐盛典"). In fact, CCTV usually holds and broadcasts Galas to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar, on New Year's Eve, December 31 every year in Gregorian calendar, especially in recent years. I proved the original title of this article, "CCTV New Year's Gala", is so misleading by giving enough reasons at the top of this page-moved discussion, which you can understand clearly. In conclusion, it is proper and reasonable to rename this article as the commonly used name "CCTV Spring Festival Gala".

 * Comment: I found the reliable source to prove "CCTV Spring Festival Gala" is the proper, reasonable and common name of this article. This is CCTV English version website: . This is searching page of CCTV English version website: . If search for "CCTV Spring Festival Gala", the results are mostly about CCTV Galas to celebrate Chinese New Year (also known as "Spring Festival"), which is the main content of this article. If search for "CCTV New Year's Gala", the results are mostly about CCTV Galas to celebrate New Year in Gregorian calendar. Thus, it is proved that "CCTV Spring Festival Gala" is the best title of this article.

 * Well, all of the ip are from Beijing (so far 4, plus Tianjin ip who delete my comment and  who apparently delete someone vote instead of strike off with valid reason). One with one edit (on this page), on with edits after the start of this RM. Both very suspicious as SPA and/or sock. Matthew hk (talk) 12:53, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Added back one more ip vote from Tianjin despite it looks SPA. Matthew hk (talk) 13:03, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Consider re-open previously closed move
Seems like 2019 move request was denied because people couldn't provide reliable source.

Here is the Gala's official English website in 2024:

The official website for the 2024 event clearly titles the celebration as the "Spring Festival Gala"

Given it is the primary source, I believe a move to `CMG Spring Festival Gala` would be reasonable. Delacour (talk) 04:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
