News18 India → News18 – For precision, since News18 does not have branches outside India. See the official website. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:31, 13 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support As our only article about a network of this name, adding India is unnecessary disambiguation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support The network article should be "News18", no further disambiguation is needed. -- Ab207 (talk) 07:44, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment News18 currently redirects to CNN-News18. 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 17:25, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The network article is already at TV18, which is the name of the parent corporation. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • C • L)} 13:24, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The one English-language source currently cited in the article refers to the channel as "News18 India". The "India" isn't "unnecessary disambiguation", it appears it's just part of the channel's name. Before supporting the move, I would want to see evidence that secondary RS usually refer to the channel as just "News18". Colin M (talk) 20:14, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "News18 India" refers to a specific Hindi-language news channel, and there are other channels like News18 Rajasthan, News18 Bangla, News18 Kerala etc which serve regionally. The primary confusion arises because the News18 network does have its own article. The sources referring as News18 India refer to the channel but the network itself is named just "News18" ([1], [2], [3]) -- Ab207 (talk) 06:17, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: This article appears to be about the news channel whose proper name is News18 India. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • C • L)} 13:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the article is about the Hindi language news channel "News18 India" in specific rather than News18 network as a whole. I've redirected News18 to Network18 Group which is the parent company of the News18 television channels (through TV18) and their official website (through Web18).
