I think this is right. Insisting people not call a page name by its
obvious acronym won't work and won't be intuitive. A new page name
will be better, and people won't continue calling something by an
acronym that no longer makes sense for long (VfD is still
comprehensible but becoming less so. And the news section is nowhere
as trafficked or used as VfD ever is/was).
So... suggestions?
*Current Events (WP:CE)
*News Desk (WP:ND)
*Current News (WP:CN --> used currently for Clueless Newbie)
*...your suggestion here?

Unless we rename it to something like "Current
Events" People will continue
to abbreviate it ITN out of habit.

I like that idea. But how would we deal with old
links? We can't just
deprecate a link and not replace it. If they call it ITN, it will
still be called ITN if it points to [[WP:NEWS]].
I pretty much meant what Flcello suggests below: ask people to call it
News (or something) rather than ITN. Not perfect - but most people say
AfD not VfD now.
