Talk:Clear Channel

From VfD:

• I'm putting up Clear Channel (not to be confused with Clear channel) because every page that linked to it should have linked to Clear Channel Communications. I fixed the bad links. Also, it's a disambiguation page that is not needed because there is a clear note at the top of Clear channel that can be used to direct people to Clear Channel Communications. if that is what they wanted (there is also a note in the article as well).

• Keep as a redirect to Clear Channel Communications. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:44, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Agree. Make it a redirect. Rossami 17:13, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Redirect. Bacchiad 21:34, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I don't think y'all realize that the issue is a matter of capitalization. If it's going to redirect to anything it should redirect to Clear channel not Clear Channel Communications. If someone were looking for Clear Channel Communications they could find it through Clear channel, however if someone were looking for the informations about clear channel designations for radio stations they would NOT be able to find it from Clear Channel Communications.

• But you said above that every link to Clear Channel should have linked to Clear Channel Communications. That seems pretty clear to me. Users who were creating the link were not intending to go to clear channel. Either way, the current version looks like a perfectly valid disambiguation page. Rossami
• Redirect. Both articles have notes that will direct lost users to the other. I think Clear Channel should redirect to Clear Channel Communications because there's no reason the C in Channel would be capitalized if it wasn't refering to the corporation. Also, the company is usually refered to as "Clear Channel", even though technically that's not their full name. I don't think a disambig is necesary here. - Eisnel 08:12, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
