WLTPWLTP (AM) – To point WLTP to worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure as WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT over the radio station, given page views [1] and usage in WP:RS [2][3]. A disambiguation page at WLTP is also fine by me, if editors create pages referring to other significant usages of this acronym during the course of this move discussion. Regarding the proposed disambiguator, see WP:NCBC#North America ("For stations which do not have a suffix, if disambiguation is necessary (because the official call sign conflicts with an airport code or acronym), place the type of service in parentheses"). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:22, 8 November 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

Oppose: The worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure would be WHLVTP, not WLTP. Sorry. - NeutralhomerTalk • 20:23 on November 8, 2018 (UTC)
Nope. As the article and the tens of thousands of Google News hits indicate, they use the acronym WLTP. No one uses WHLVTP. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 23:13, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, I still stand by my opposition...BUT, I am willing to admit when I'm wrong and compromise. Create WLTP as a disambig page. Move WLTP Radio to the aforementioned WLTP (AM) and there would be a link to the worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure page. I can do this now, if you agree. - NeutralhomerTalk • 00:16 on November 9, 2018 (UTC)
  • Support moving this page, but I agree with Neutralhomer that the undabbed WLTP should be a dab page rather than a straight redirect to the emissions standard. Bearcat (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Didn't research so no input on the other WLTP, but the station proposal is not in-line with WP:NCBC#Stations. It should be WLTP (radio station). --Gonnym (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: Actually, it is within WP:NCBC#Stations. You need to read it a little better. We only go by FCC callsigns and MOS, which says, if it's WXXX-FM, WXXX-FM is what the page is called. If it's WXXX-AM (which the FCC doesn't use the "-AM" in their callsigns) and there isn't a page that will cause problems (like the worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure page), it's WXXX. If there is or the station is part of an AM/FM combo with the same callsign (see WINC-FM/WINC (AM) for example), it would be WXXX (AM). The "(AM)" shows the station is an AM station, and within FCC callsign guidelines, it would show that WXXX is the station's callsign, the AM is afterthought, but correct per FCC, as again, they do not mention "-AM" in their callsigns even on air. In this case, WLTP would be moved to the correct WLTP (AM), not to WLTP (radio station), per MOS. - NeutralhomerTalk • 19:18 on November 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • Gonnym, I think you missed the part of WP:NCBC#stations where it specifies "except for North America as outlined below." Bearcat (talk) 20:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support moving this article to WLTP (AM) and creating a disambiguation page at WLTP. Obviously, a radio station in Marietta, Ohio isn't really the primary topic when the other meaning for "WLTP" is a worldwide emissions standard… but that doesn't necessarily mean that the standard is itself the primary topic (and dab pages can list as few as two articles in the absence of a true primary topic). --WCQuidditch 05:00, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
