MEDIA Programme → Media Programme of the European Union – Per MOS:TM, MOS:CAPS, MOS:ABBR. This is not an acronym, it's "logo capitals", just like "SONY" for Sony. The phase "Media Programme" is too ambiguous (should redirect to Program#Arts and entertainment disambiguation section). We should use full names as natural disambigation when possible, not resort to parenthetical constructions like "Media Programme (European Union)", though that should exist as a redirect. It would be much more WP:CONSISTENT use the full name of the organization, to agree with our treatment of other such entities (see Category:Agencies of the European Union, Category:Institutions of the European Union, Category:United Nations Development Group, Category:United Nations specialized agencies etc.; there are a handful of exceptions, but all of them have word-acronym names that have become their WP:COMMONNAMEs by a very wide margin, as in the case of UNICEF and UNESCO (most people have heard of them but not of their full names, presenting a WP:RECOGNIZABILITY issue that does not exist in this case). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:50, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
PPS: The article text reads as if mostly plagiarized directly from a brochure or webpage, though this may not be a copyright problem (I'm not sure what copyright might or might not apply to EU work).
PPPS: If this move proceeds, the resulting MEDIA Programme redirect should have
{{R from trademark}} and {{R from alternative capitalisation|of=Media Programme}} added.— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:50, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
- @SMcCandlish: so it should be CAPS? Sounds like Media Programme of the European Union In ictu oculi (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Ditto, I'm assuming that's what you actually meant? Also, should "Programme" be capitalised? Or should it be "sub-programme"? The EU website doesn't seem to be very clear on either point. If the latter, does it really warrant a separate article or should it be merged into Creative Europe? PC78 (talk) 16:10, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- I have no objection to an alternative name or a merger; I was just going on the assumption that the exact phrase "Media Programme" is a proper name attested somewhere. Sourcing for this entire thing is actually thin and hard to find. I don't know the exact bureaucratic terminology of the EU, nor whether this is classified as a sub-programme, or what. I.e., I'm just trying to fix the over-capitalization and logo-mimicry problem, and A'ing GF about the name otherwise. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:41, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Doh! That was a silly copy-paste error on my part. I've fixed the nomination; yes, it should be "Media". — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

- Support. I'm not convinced that there isn't a better or more appropriate alternative, but the proposed move will be a necessary improvement on the current title. PC78 (talk) 16:36, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Lazz_R 21:22, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
