ABC News (United States)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A duplicate of ABC News made by someone who also cut-pasted ABC News (disambiguation) into ABC News. I successfully reverted the cut-and-paste moves, but I cannot delete this article title. Georgia guy (talk) 14:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment based on the dab page I'd say ABC News (United States) is the more appropriate article title and that ABC News should be the dab page. Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Explain your reasoning. It only says that ABC News has several meanings, not that it has several significant meanings. Georgia guy (talk) 15:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * My reasoning is that the other articles on the dab page are in this format (naming convention wise) and ABC News is a more likely search term for any of the three than ABC News dis... etc would be. Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:34, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, you can just click on the link at ABC News to the dis-ambiguation page and then simply look it up there. Just like any dis-ambiguation page where one meaning gets no suffix for being primary. Georgia guy (talk) 15:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Or we could make it easy on people and they can go straight to the dab page and click on the one they want and it keeps the names in a reasonably similar format. Either way that isn't what this page is here for and should be kept to article talkpages. Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep redirect ABC News to this page and keep things consistent at ABC News (disambiguation) .  Gtstricky Talk or C 15:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: This page was created via a copy/paste move of ABC News. Regardless of what the pages are named in the future this page must be deleted. If the current ABC News article is to be moved here, it can be done by performing a proper move.  D C E dwards 1966  15:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because someone does not know the proper procedure we don't need admin doing extra work. A simple redirect will save a few steps.  Gtstricky Talk or C 15:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * We do if we want to keep the edit history of the article with the article.  D C E dwards 1966  15:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There does seem to be some discussion on Talk:ABC News about this. Since consensus was reached there (where it should be discussed) previously I am changing.  Gtstricky Talk or C 15:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
