On 2 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from KAAL (TV) to KAAL. The result of the discussion was moved.

Article name

I have moved this article back to KAAL from KAAL-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KAAL. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KAAL (TV) → KAAL – The proposed title already redirects here and is the only topic associated with the term to be primarily capitalized. People are not likely to type "KAAL" looking for "Kaal". Moved in 2019 without discussion by Mvcg66b3r. See also Talk:WNPT#Requested move 8 July 2023. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support move. A hatnote can easily handle any users looking for "Kaal".
