The result of the move request was: moved to News Journal (Kentucky). Jenks24 (talk) 03:04, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
News Journal (Corbin) → News Journal (Corbin, Kentucky) – "Corbin, Kentucky" because "Corbin" is not one of the WP:USPLACE self-evident AP Stylebook city names. (It appears that the printed newspaper uses just News Journal from what I can see on Google images, but the website adds "The" and ".net".) Relisted.

- Better yet, move to News Journal (Kentucky). It's more WP:CONCISE, adequately distinguishes the subject from other publications of the same name, and also reflects that the paper's business and coverage are not limited to Corbin. --BDD (talk) 13:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose. WP:USPLACE does not apply here, and per WP:TITLECHANGES, absent any good reason to change, it should not be moved. kennethaw88 • talk 02:14, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support Neither "Corbin" nor "Kentucky", by themselves, sufficiently disambiguate and describe the subject. I doubt the vast majority of readers automatically associate "Corbin" with Kentucky, especially since there appear to be several places with that name. Likewise, "Kentucky" is a big place, and this newspaper does not, as far as I can tell, purport to cover the entire state, but rather three small counties in the southeast corner of the state. I think it is important that the title sufficiently disambiguates "Corbin" and communicates the regional nature of the publication. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 15:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- How exactly do neither of these sufficiently disambiguate? Of all the titles at News Journal (disambiguation), only this one is printed/located/distributed in a place called Corbin or Kentucky. The purpose of the parentheses is to disambiguate News Journal, not Corbin.
- Oppose per kennethaw88. "Corbin" is only there to distinguish from other articles titled News Journal. Would not mind a move to News Journal (Kentucky) as the paper appears to serve more than Corbin.--Cúchullain t/c 13:20, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
