There are way too many newspapers called The Telegraph. If no one objects, I'm going to create a disambiguation page within a few days. Illinois2011 | Talk 23:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
YES YOU SHOULD DO IT —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soni master ( talk • contribs) 14:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
The logo of The Telegraph (Kolkata) is the official logo of The Telegraph (Kolkata) and it has been taken from its official website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.3.234 ( talk) 15:00, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Raised this at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics first. I was using The Telegraph as a source and checked this page, and was confused at first as to whether I had the right article. If you look at the newspapers masthead, it clearly reads Calcutta, not Kolkata, so the article should clearly reflect that in its title. Dougweller ( talk) 16:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Based on my reading of this discussion below, it is hard to say that any title has gained consensus here. Generally, it seems that most people agree that '(Calcutta)' is an acceptable disambiguator, because the newspaper itself uses it, because that is where the newspaper is based, and because it is commonly known by variant names that include 'Calcutta'. That isn't to say that there are no valid reasons for a potential move to '(India)', but no one was able to make convincing case on this point, and I don't think anyone has supported the proposer's move rationale. The question of whether 'Calcutta' should be changed to the modern 'Kolkata' has not be adequately addressed in the discussion, and there is no clear consensus on that matter either. I would suggest that this is a separate matter from the original proposal. If an editor has a compelling argument for changing the disambiguator to 'Kolkata', and I do believe that such an argument exists, then he ought make a new requested move proposal.

The Telegraph (India) – Because The Telegraph has branches not just in Calcutta, but even outside like Jharkhand, Patna and Bhubaneshwar.

The result of the move request was: Moved — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 20:54, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
The Telegraph (Calcutta) → The Telegraph (Kolkata) – Propose to move, for reasons of consistency, to a namespace reflecting the modern (or original), post-colonial name for the city, whose article occupies the namespace Kolkata. Ohc ¡digame! 07:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Tayi Arajakate: what "cherrypicking" was done? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuyutsu Ho ( talk • contribs) 15:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
In 2022, an analysis of media bias found that The Telegraph which is commonly considered to be leftist, did exhibit an anti alignment towards both BJP and Congress which do not follow the leftist ideology, and was most aligned to the frames pro-poor, the pro-informal sector, and the pro-middle class.
