Move the article with the acronym spelled out?

I would like to move this article to Dutch Christian Radio Association. Any objections? aliceinlampyland 21:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what reason would there be for that? Also, 'tv' makes you think of transvestites? Which channels do you watch then? :) DirkvdM 06:21, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well in general I think acronyms are pretty confusing, at least if you're not familiar with them, and this isn't a general interest topic. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (acronyms). Would you say that renaming the article away from the acronym would be confusing to people who are familiar with the NCRV? Of course there would be a redirect.

As for transvestites, I'm obviously not watching the Christian channels to see them :-D aliceinlampyland 15:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One problem is that it is a Dutch acronym, and spelling it out in English would not fit the acronym. Actually, I made up the 'Associaton' bit. I'm not entirely sure if that is a correct translation. For the article that doesn't matter too much, but for the title it would have to be correct. Secondly, 'Radio' is no longer correct. Thirdly, NCRV doesn't seem to stand for anything else (Google it), so there's no confusion. An alternative would be to spell it out in Dutch, but that's not how people in the Netherlands know them. If you ask Dutch people what 'ncrv' stands for, they'll generally only get it right because it's obvious. And I'm not sure if there are any rules about using Dutch in articles and titles. Are there?

There is a consensus for using English words in preference to those from other languages. If they are known excusively by their acronym, then there's no problem. I guess I was comparing it to other broadcasters, like American Broadcasting Company (ABC) or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and others where the full name is both obvious and used occasionally. aliceinlampyland 13:54, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
