Requested move 8 May 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: make WION a disambiguation page. This means moving WION (disambiguation) to WION, since the disambiguation page has already been undeleted. (closed by non-admin page mover) GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 14:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

WION (TV channel) → WION – Extreme notability advantage demonstrated through pageviews: 1, 2. No discussion needed, really. NØ 11:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request. ~Amkgp (✉) 14:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Recreate original disambiguation page: Whilst the TV channel is clearly far more significant than either of the other uses of "WION", it has not been demonstrated that it is overwhelmingly so for both usage and long-term significance (having not been around that long) per Wikipedia:Primary topic. Also, IMO, none of the three are major topics that might be listed in any print encyclopedia or dictionary, and the hatnote is already rather unwieldy. Llew Mawr (talk) 03:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 7 September 2021

– WION is a english news channel like BBC and CNN for example. we can see CNN or BBC neither of them is titled as "BBC TV channel" or "CNN TV channel" so i think fundamentally these type of pages should be titled with their name only. According to WP:COMMONNAME, common name should be used as title of article, so if we consider a random search engine result we can easily see that "WION TV channel" with around 1,10,00,000 results is not the common name when compared to "WION" with around 1,44,00,000 results. but still i guess some might not agree with me, so i would to attach one more proof of "news" section results. with 1,07,00,000 results "WION" is the real common name when compared to much lower "WION TV channel" with around 7,41,000 results only. and ya i know "WION" name is already in use for disambiguation page. so my take on this is, if we reached to a consensus to use "WION" as article's title so we could change that disambiguation page's title to "WION (disambiguation)". thank you.

 Comment: AxG Clearly, WION (TV channel) is the primary topic here. you can see the above closed discussion for reference. according to the consensus of above closed discussion, it was concluded that (TV channel) is primary topic that is the reason that the disambiguation page has the title of "WION" which was earlier occupied by a Radio station. so clearly TV channel is primary topic here. and about that WP:COMMONNAME, this policy is very much applicable here, because this discussion is about choosing common name for article, which is in use by this article's own disambiguation page not any other article.

Conspiracy Theories

I can't say for sure, but when watching some of their content, the Gravitas show appears to be rather "conspiratorial" in their monologues and it makes me question their editorial policies.

Perhaps some better material on their editorial stances should be mentioned in the Wikipedia article?

Criticism blocked on YouTube

Recently I took exception to statements made and my comment was blocked. I then noticed that I couldn’t find ANY comments with a differing opinion. There was not so much as as a “thumbs down”. It seems to me this is more like propaganda than news. If they’re not willing to consider opposing views how can they be trusted to tell the truth in the first place? So I blocked the channel... 68.97.5.41 (talk) 20:47, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
