Mediaweek (Australian magazine) → Mediaweek (Australian website) – It no longer prints a magazine, and as far as I can see is a website only. Was going to just go ahead and move it, but thought I'd better check a few opinions first in case of counter-arguments.

Weak oppose Neutral: for 27 of its 32 years it was a print magazine, while I am guessing it has only been a web site for about 20 of its existence. Also "magazine" is not wrong for an online publication; while "website" sounds like a web site only. Perhaps more importantly, it is not only a web site, it also publishes an email newsletter. Perhaps "magazine" is not quite accurate, but I don't think "website" is either. (p.s. I have no connection to them, I just stumbled on this). Adpete (talk) 04:09, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Just a note that they don't do the emails any more and appear to function only as a website. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:46, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

According to their "about" their daily reports are email ("delivered for free every morning to your inbox."), though it looks like users can access them by the web too. So I dunno :) Adpete (talk) 12:47, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Changed answer to "neutral". I can see arguments both ways and I don't have the time to resolve it in my mind :) Adpete (talk) 01:15, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

• How about moving it to Mediaweek (Australia), which already redirects here? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:14, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

  Oppose online magazines are still magazines. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:16, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

• Mediaweek (Australian magazine) → Mediaweek
• Mediaweek → Mediaweek (disambiguation)

– WP:PrimaryTopic. The Australian magazine is the only one that still exists. It also started before the American magazine. DilatoryRevolution (talk) 08:26, 22 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. Neither historical age, or whether the publication is defunct, are criteria used to WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY. No evidence that the Australian magazine is more notable. 162 etc. (talk) 05:32, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. The Australian magazine is uniquely styled MediaWeek, which should be the topic name. Doug butler (talk) 21:53, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
