Requested move 16 July 2024
RAI → Rai (Italian broadcasting company) – the common name is "Rai"; see the official site: https://www.rai.it/, the Treccani encyclopaedia: https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/rai-radiotelevisione-italiana/, and the it.wiki page: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai.

 * Support. This does make sense from my point of view. I would also like to note that just because another Wikipedia Language (such as the Italian one) doesn't really count/prove the point that the common way the company spelt is spelt "Rai" and not "RAI" at all really.

 * Weak oppose per WP:TMRULES. As "RAI" is an abbreviation with meaning, the noncapitalization is a stylization, which Wikipedia is in the (annoying) habit of rejecting. Most Wikipedia policies regarding stylized capitalization are behind the times when it comes to recognizing how common stylized caps have become in most media, industries, etc. (add in backronyms, and stylized acronyms such as we see here, and these policies just don't have a chance of being consistently enforced) and need revisiting.

 * Support to move but a more concise name in the brackets may be better. I believe "Italian broadcasting company" is too long here. Cfls (talk) 03:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Move to "Rai" By Pageviews analysis of the disambiguation page for "Rai", this broadcasting company gets more traffic than everything else by that name with the exception of athlete Rai Benjamin who is not commonly known by his first name. It is legitimate to make this the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and put other uses in the disambiguation page. I agree, the organization is stylized "Rai" not "RAI" and there should be a move.

 * Strongly Oppose the primarytopic takeover. Support Rai (broadcaster) or some such disambiguated title. Otherwise we're just making it more ambiguous, less recognizable, less precise. Dicklyon (talk) 05:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Also note that the supports above mine were for the disambiguated title originally proposed, before the proposal was changed to be a primarytopic takeover. Dicklyon (talk) 05:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I reverted the confusing change of the proposal. Proposals should (at least generally) not be changed after a significant amount of discussion of them has already occurred, since this creates confusion over what was being discussed. Alternative suggestions can be discussed without going and modifying what has already been recorded as the original proposal. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 12:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. Since we already have Rai (broadcaster), and since Rai (Italian broadcasting company) has been objected to by Cfls in favor of shorter disambiguator, I'd say I strongly support the Rai (broadcaster) alternative. Dicklyon (talk) 15:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * very strongly support for Rai (broadcaster). JacktheBrown (talk) 20:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
