Al Jazeera Network
Al Jazeera Network
A few days ago, I reverted Al Jazeera to Al
Jazeera Network. At the time, I had not seen any evidence that
Al Jazeera calls their network of TV channels "Al Jazeera
Network" -- i.e. I hadn't seen any mention that an organisation
calling itself "Al Jazeera Network" actually exists. I have now
seen sporadic, tentative hints on various webpages that Al
Jazeera may indeed have formally reorganized itself (or may be
in the process of doing so) to form a parent entity called "Al
Jazeera Network". However, I would still ask people not to
simply repeat the move of Al Jazeera to Al Jazeera Network
without prior due diligence. I feel that giving the Al Jazeera
Network its own article should require that the following be
done first:
* Clear evidence of a restructuring of Al Jazeera
and a concomitant formation of an Al Jazeera Network parent
organisation needs to be found and cited. My own cursory Google
search didn't turn up suitably unambiguous results.
* If and when moving Al Jazeera to Al Jazeera
Network, the former article should NOT be made a redirect to
the latter. As far as I gather, Al Jazeera is the English name
of the original Arabic language TV channel. So given sufficient
evidence of a restructuring, Al Jazeera should be made into an
article about the TV channel and Al Jazeera Network should be
made an article about the network/parent organization.
* Currently, the Al Jazeera article is about the
Al Jazeera network (small n) and Al Jazeera channel. Doing the
above requires this one article to be divided and rewritten
into two articles (neither of which should be a simple redirect
to the other).
