Title dispute

Online television is not a common term. Internet television is. AP Stylebook no longer requires "internet" to be capitalized. It should be moved back. ViperSnake151 Talk 05:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, "BBC Three (internet television)" is acceptable. Alex|The|Whovian^? 07:12, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does Wikipedia follow the AP Style guide? I thought it followed the style of country of origin for the topic. For example the Canadian Press Style Guide still capitalizes "Internet" so Canadian topics would still capitalize if Wikipedia followed any of the press style guides. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 21:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to BBC Three (online), a valid alternative that was unopposed and also neatly sidesteps the capitalisation issue. Jenks24 (talk) 04:26, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Three (Internet television) → BBC Three (internet television) – You do not need to use a capital "I". 2A02:C7D:564B:D300:F0AF:3E31:A9EB:E342 (talk) 18:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC) -- Relisting. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:33, 9 June 2016 (UTC) Using a capital I in intenet is not needed. 2A02:C7D:564B:D300:FD3A:7211:844:E14A (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Favour the use of a non-capital i. It is now a common name as telephone. Board Wesger (talk) 20:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Oppose; I would rather have it moved to BBC Three. It has been long enough since the shift that this can now be considered the primary topic. ViperSnake151 Talk 15:48, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving to BBC Three (online) - I've only just spotted this at the BBC Three article and I actually prefer it over "Internet television", Having searched for "Internet television" most go by the caps anyway so had I not spotted this I probably would've opposed but anyway "online" is IMHO better. –Davey2010^Talk 20:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Move to BBC Three (online) — the article states BBC Three is a British over-the-top internet television service operated by the BBC, which launched on 16 February 2016. It is a replacement for the linear BBC Three television channel, which was discontinued the same day. --✉cookiemonster✉ ^𝚨755𝛀 20:49, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: "Internet" is consistently capitalized at Internet and Wikipedia:WikiProject Internet, and this article about a video service is not a good place to try to start a movement to change that convention. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Broadcast quality

Article is missing discussion as to whether high definition is available via the new service or if this is reserved for later BBC One/Two over-the-air broadcast. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
