Washington Week → Washington Week with the Atlantic – The show has changed its name to Washington Week with the Atlantic after Jeffrey Goldberg took over moderating duties this past Friday. Marioedit8 (talk) 18:57, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now to be consistent with the titles of the other articles for American news programs. The name change coincided with Jeffrey Goldberg taking over as the program's moderator -- because he is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine, it sounds like the producers thought it would be 'cooler' to put "with The Atlantic" in the title than merely use Washington Week with Jeffrey Goldberg. And as you note that with the other Sunday morning talk show articles like This Week (American TV program), Face the Nation, Meet the Press, and Fox News Sunday, they are kept at their base shortened titles, rather than their longer respective titles with their respective moderators, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, and Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream. One of reasons for this is for article title stability and to not rename the articles every single time the programs change their moderators. And I fully expect Washington Week would change its official full name again once Goldberg leaves and the new moderator they hire is no longer associated with The Atlantic.

Nice response. I hadn't really thought about that before making my edits earlier today. Marioedit8 (talk) 01:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for the reasons explained well by Zzyzx11. – SJ Morg (talk) 04:29, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
