– This one's a nightmare – for the first time, I've found an example that will have to go contra "mainline" WP:NCTV, and disambiguate "by network" for two of these. But there's no other option: both of the first two are "U.S. TV programs", so Foreign Exchange (U.S. TV program) is insufficient disambiguation. Similarly, both U.S. programs premiered in 2005, so Foreign Exchange (2005 TV program) won't work either; not even "double disambiguation" – e.g. Foreign Exchange (2005 U.S. TV program) – solves the issue here. So, I think we're stuck with disambiguation "by TV network" as the only choice here. I'm certainly open to other suggestions! Finally, the third one is easily solved – disambiguating the third one "by country" as Foreign Exchange (Australian TV series) should easily solve that one. Then all of Foreign Exchange (TV series), Foreign Exchange (TV program), and Foreign Exchange (U.S. TV program) can be made to redirect back to Foreign exchange#Media. --IJBall (contribstalk) 16:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

  • Question: Are any of these programs notable under WP:RPRGM? I somehow have a hard time seeing how a news program would get enough RS talking about it (without talking about because of some incident, like sexual haresment) even if it was a central program for the network. I did a quick check for both US series and didn't find (but I just did a very superficial check). --Gonnym (talk) 17:23, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
That's a separate question from what the articles should be named. For the PBS show, I can find incidental mentions: [1], [2] I can't find anything on the CNBC World show. --IJBall (contribstalk) 18:14, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well my point being that if they aren't notable, then we don't have an issue with naming :) --Gonnym (talk) 18:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Also, two points - your second link calls the PBS show a "talk show" and from what I can tell, the show was called for both versions - Foreign Exchange with <host name>[3], [4]. --Gonnym (talk) 19:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
So, in that way, I guess it's similar to Late Show (CBS TV series) in that it's an "overview" article covering both hosts' tenure, and thus the "shortened" title is the correct way to handle it. It is too bad the talk show didn't just have one host, because it could easily be disambig'ed that way, obviously... --IJBall (contribstalk) 14:40, 22 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
FWIW, I suspect the PBS talk show is probably notable (barely), while I doubt the CNBC World program is. But, as I've said before, it's easier to work out "correct" article titles in most cases, then it is to actually get something deleted. --IJBall (contribstalk) 19:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@In ictu oculi: Requesting clarification – Is "support all" for the original proposal? Or for the alt. proposal? --IJBall (contribstalk) 16:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
