I have placed a heads-up at Talk:KTAE [1] and regard this relisted move as now including

as part of the multi-move to be discussed. Andrewa (talk) 21:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (broadcasting)#North America seems to be the relevant guideline, but it doesn't seem to deal with the very common situation of several different stations being well known by the same callsign at different times in recent history.

Wikipedia:RADIONAMING points to Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations#Article naming conventions, where it is (perhaps inaccurately) listed as a policy shortcut. It provides a great deal more detail, and may explain our current practice, which has resulted in Category:Broadcast call sign disambiguation pages containing 3,584 pages, most of which relate to the USA.

At the risk of encouraging instruction creep, we should IMO better document and formalise our current practice. At the very least, the official guideline should point to the more detailed WikiProject guideline, if the WikiProject guideline is to be accepted as the authority in practice.

But established practice does seem to support creating a DAB for KLGO as suggested above. No member of the (seemingly quite active) WikiProject has yet commented on this RM so far as I can see, although it does appear on their article alerts list.

Relisting to seek input from the WikiProject, and also to add the third move as suggested above.

I have placed a heads-up at the WikiProject. [2] Andrewa (talk) 21:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I'm getting the moves underway right now. I've taken KLGO to KTAE (AM) per the naming conventions, since there's more than one article on the dab page already. Mlaffs (talk) 00:11, 8 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
