to ABC7. I believe this represents consensus since it fundamentally means disambiguating the title. Note that {{no redirect|ABC 7}} now redirects there. Perhaps this should be reversed, though? --BDD (talk) 19:20, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Is WABC-TV really the best target for this redirect? ABC 7 News is the title for the newscasts on KGO-TV in San Francisco, WJLA-TV in Washington, WWSB in Sarasota, WZVN-TV in Naples/Fort Myers, KVIA-TV in El Paso, KVII-TV in Amarillo, and WVII-TV in Bangor (and, formerly, WLS-TV in Chicago) — but not WABC-TV, which calls its newscasts Channel 7 Eyewitness News and has never solely been ABC 7 News (the closest it came was a period from 1999–2004 when it was ABC 7 Eyewitness News).

- Retarget and Disambiguate due to the several stations that go by "ABC 7", it needs a disambiguation page. Plausible in my opinion to be diambiguated. James-the-Charizard (talk) 19:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Disambiguate / SIAify with the suggestions given above. Deryck C. 13:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'd like to see a disambiguation page draft if we're going to that route. {{no redirect|ABC 7}} redirects to List of ABC television affiliates (table); following that may be easier and more practical. --BDD (talk) 21:01, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
- {{ping|BDD}} I've drafted one. List of ABC television affiliates (table) doesn't say which channels have "ABC 7 News" shows and which ones don't, so I think it'll be helpful to create a separate index. Deryck C. 14:14, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

- Retarget to ABC7. Thank you to Feminist for relisting this, she had closed it as I was researching. ABC7 was prodded last year, citing Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 10#Station branding disambiguation pages However, perhaps more so than other channel numbers thanks to Circle 7, ABC 7 stations are specifically known by that name, making that a plausible search term and a disambiguation necessary. I also saw in that discussion complaints about maintenance—local TV stations change affiliation from time to time but having a disambiguation page that may be slightly out of date from time to time is a lot better than having nothing at all. Given my explanation and the above desire to disambiguate, I have contested the PROD on ABC7. That being said, the newscast of any ABC 7 station is going to be called some variant of "ABC 7 News" (formally or colloquially) so maintaining a separate disambiguation page is unnecessary. -- Tavix (talk) 13:24, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
::{{ping|Tavix}} Disambiguation was my first instinct because many stations go by ABC/NBC/CBS x News (x being channel number.) and I thought a disambiguation page would best due to multiple targets. James-the-Charizard (talk) 17:33, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
