Red River (Vietnam)

edit

This river flows in China, so the contents of the parenthesis is inappropriate. This page should be renamed (maybe Red River (Asia)). --Juiced lemon 10:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

– Per WP:NATURAL and WP:TWODABS. This river, which flows by Hanoi, is much more important than Hong River (Huai River), which flows by no major city. A hatnote will achieve the same purpose as the disambiguation page. "Hong" can mean "red" in both Chinese (hóng) and Sino-Vietnamese (hồng). 67.149.246.163 (talk) 19:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

This move seems a bit premature. AFAIK most Engllish-language sources call this the Red River, not the Hong River. DHN (talk) 03:01, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

– per WP:COMMONNAME. The current title, "Hong River"[1][2] is far less common than "Red River".[3][4] The title was stable at "Red River" from the article's creation in 2003 until the recent RM above. That RM gave no justfication or evidence for a move to "Hong River" and concern about this was raised shortly thereafter. —  AjaxSmack  18:46, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
