  • The Alaknanda, as far as I remember, is a river first and a story later. Can we please keep this a factual article ? Amar 06:10, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

Alaknanda RiverAlakananda RiverRelisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC) Correct name. other is the local appellation in some parts. 117.204.92.46 (talk) 06:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Should not be moved unless the nominator has something to show. Search results show 50k hits for this title vs. 5k hits for the proposed one (minus wiki of course). Rennell435 (talk) 02:27, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– Primary topic, no ambiguous page of the same name exists, qualifies as per, WP:2DABPRIMARYHemant DabralTalk 23:19, 4 March 2020 (UTC) Relisting. SITH (talk) 12:51, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request. OhKayeSierra (talk) 02:12, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Even if no ambiguous page exists, is the name unadorned the common name in English for these rivers? It doesn't matter if nothing else is at the base title if "XYZ River" is still the best title. Maybe best for a full RM? Snowfire (talk) 01:09, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose There are many bigger rivers in South Asia, Indus River, Brahmaputra River, Godavari River, Narmada River that don't necessarily have disambiguation issues. Besides, the Alaknanda is not such a well-known river; the river appelation is helpful. As I've stated at the Bhagirathi renaming page, I have written the leads of both the pages, drawn the maps of their courses, taken the pictures. I have a pretty good sense of what these rivers are called in encylopedias. A nonstarter, requiring a speedy close. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 03:51, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also qualifies as per WP:CONSISTENT, with other rivers that have "river" dropped in their titles i.e. Ramganga, Yamuna, Sarayu, Nandakini, Ganges etc. — Hemant DabralTalk 09:10, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
