Requested move 3 May 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus against proposed name and discussion has fizzled out since May 5. A new RM can be opened with discussion for a new name. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 01:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Barcroft TV → Truly (show) – they no longer operate as barcroft TV. their youtube and rumble channels show up as truly as their new brand name. https://www.youtube.com/c/BarcroftTV/about shows info about them renaming their channel and shows up on rumble as https://rumble.com/c/Truly. same content on both. there is also this article that shows the relaunch https://www.televisual.com/news/barcroft-launch-new-ott-tv-doc-channel-truly/

It is currently part of Future PLC https://www.futureplc.com/blog/barcroft-rebrands-as-future-studios/

in the bottom there is mention of their truly tv brand "Future Studios’ Truly YouTube channel continues to grow with over 490m views since January 2021 and 3.2 billion minutes viewed on Facebook in the same period" 2603:8000:5000:E9D2:F9B0:FE0E:8C26:F72E (talk) 06:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

Comment: A better move target would be truly (show), not "truly(show)". JIP | Talk 08:31, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose name proposed. I don't see a naming convention used by Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube, but I'd probably follow Crash Course (YouTube) and do Truly (YouTube). Gonnym (talk) 10:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as proposed, but consider moving to something like Truly (news service). It's not just on YouTube, so including "YouTube" in the name might not be desirable. Don't use all-lowercase, per MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:54, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is why I asked. Because I wasn't sure how to rename it. So the general consensus so far is not as proposed. Which makes sense to me now. Since it is on multiple platforms, I also lean towards Truly (news service) as well now that I read the comments. How many of you would be okay that? I will be happy to close this proposal and re-request as Truly (news service) and see how many of you agree. I Just don't want to log in, change it, only to have it reverted because there was no consensus2603:8000:5000:E9D2:CC8D:676E:218B:DC54 (talk) 05:09, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Or would it be better to leave this page as is and create a new page instead as Truly (News Service). I am just a little confused on how to approach it because it is more of a lifestyle programming over the top service than a news service agency now that Future PLC is in charge2603:8000:5000:E9D2:CC8D:676E:218B:DC54 (talk) 05:22, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest to just let the discussion continue. And please, it should not use "News Service" with capital letters. Please see MOS:CAPS. But if it's not really for news, then it should be something else. I was just going by the opening sentence of the article, which currently says "Barcroft TV is a British news agency." Perhaps instead it should be something like "Truly (video channel)". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:57, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment it seems as though there is general interest in a rename, but no clear view on what the new title should be - it'd probably be worth getting some clarity on that aspect? Turnagra (talk) 06:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
