Rename

I am a regular Radio New Zealand listener and visitor to their website and social media accounts. I noticed that their content refers to the organisation as "RNZ" and rarely uses the name "Radio New Zealand." I am proposing renaming the article RNZ and turning the Radio New Zealand namespace into a redirect page. RNZ seems to be following a similar trend as other media organisations such as TVNZ, ABC News, ABC News (Australia), NPR, PBS and BBC. Wanted to get feedback before I go ahead.

Is it a fairly recent change? I don't listen all that often to them, but I've never heard other people refer to them as RNZ - it's always been Radio New Zealand. In comparison, almost almost everyone refers to Television New Zealand as TVNZ. I'd suggest waiting a while to see if it is commonly used outside the organisation before moving it. 2001:4530:2:E07:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFD (talk) 00:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that RNZ is the more common, but I don’t think it’s quite at the same level as the other orgs you listed, except maybe NPR. I don’t think that it quite passes the litmus test of being definitely more recognisable as the acronym.
