[edit]

Moved as proposed. As noted in the discussion, the slash is unavoidable in the overwhelming common name of the topic. bd2412 T 00:57, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CNN Sports IllustratedCNN/SI – Actual name of the network. The "SI" came from Sports Illustrated, which was a corporate sister to CNN at the time, but the network's name didn't spell it out. The slash is correct, even if it was omitted from the attached website's URL for technical reasons. oknazevad (talk) 01:40, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:04, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - The initialism with the slash is most commonly-used in sources referring to the network, and per WP:NCBC#Networks, shortened forms or initialisms of their business names ... should be the primary way of naming the article. CNNSI (without the slash) seems to only be used when referring to the cnnsi.com website. -- Netoholic @ 19:54, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
