The result of the move request was: Moved to HSN (non-admin closure) ---  C &amp; C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 10:22, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Home Shopping Network → HSN (TV network) – The channel has clearly gone by its abbreviation for the last twenty years and uses its initials for corporate purposes, so it's time to rename the article to its abbreviation. JE98 (talk) 03:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Support, but move to HSN - this is definitely overdue. While there are residual uses of "Home Shopping Network" in the last 20 years since the rename, I think its fallen below the level of WP:COMMONNAME and even below the threshold where WP:NATURALDIS is justifiable. WP:Verifiability is a core policy, and in this case recent sources just do not primarily use the old name (see  above for examples).  This should also displace the current HSN] dismabiguation page as primary topic over anything listed there. -- Netoholic @ 07:28, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you all for your support. I am totally for moving this page to HSN, I only did not request that because I was afraid of instant rejection following the last move attempt a few years back. Let's hope this request is successful. JE98 (talk) 17:36, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
