Talk:Q&A (talk show)
Proposed merger from Q & A (C-SPAN)
[edit]The subject of this article has been pretty obviously duplicated in the article called Q & A (C-SPAN). This one appears to be the older of the two, by approximately four years, although neither have received much attention. The other happens to be the better-written, although that isn't saying much, either. Looking at WP:TV-NAME, it appears that (talk show) is the correct disambiguation, so the content of that article should be moved into this space. But let me make this a little more complicated: there is also an article about an entirely different talk show based in Australia, that is currently titled Q&A (TV program); although according to the same guideline, that is not the proper name, either.
Therefore, I propose that after the initial merger of Q & A (C-SPAN) into this article, this one be re-named Q&A (U.S. talk show), while the Australian program (or programme) whould be renamed Q&A (Australia talk show). I believe this is the most technically correct option, also according to WP:TV-NAME.
Anyhow, in a moment I'll place appropriate tags on both entries related to the U.S. series, and have left alone the Australian one for now. If you agree with the merger proposal, please make it so. And then I will have a rewrite planned to propose once that has been done.
Additionally: here I should disclose that I work with C-SPAN's communications team, so my M.O. on such articles will be to propose big changes rather than implementing them directly, and sticking to patently non-controversial edits where they may exist. That's also why I am doing this from a disclosed secondary account rather than my usual account, just to make that distinction clear. If any other questions, please let me know.
