Vilnia River → Vilnia – 1. The usual river naming convention in Europe, including Lithuania, is "Foo" - see Category:Rivers of Lithuania; this is an odd man out. 3. Vilnia already redirects here so we are only moving the article over a redirect, but this one needs admin intervention. The above vote was 9 years ago by a - now banned - editor. --Relisted. — Amakuru (talk) 10:19, 20 January 2015 (UTC) Bermicourt (talk) 15:15, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I am unconvinced as Vilnia River seems a pretty good WP:AT description to me. It may also be worth adding a link from a Lithuanian project page. If it were a British river I would object. GregKaye ✍♪ 20:56, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose - given we have Belarusian Gymnasium of Vilnia, WP:NATURAL justifies keeping "River". In passing not at all sure why so many articles have been created/moved to (river) when WP:NATURAL says not to do so. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:16, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Does the river flow through Belarus?
editAfter checking Google Maps, the river seems to flow through Lithuania, tough it seems unclear if there are maybe some little meters of it in Belarus.
Other users in the edit history also stated "River does not flow in Belarus itself, it only forms a border between Lithuania and Belarus at a stretch of some 10-12 kilometers, but the border is in drawn that way, that the river itself is on Lithuanian side."
The Lithuanian wikipedia mentions "the area of the basin is 624 km², of which 551 km² is in Lithuania.", indicating that the rest of the basin is in Belarus.
Does this justify the statement of the river flowing through Belarus, too?

- I have came up on the source from which the quote is taken during my research and decided to include/keep status quo, hovewer I'm not an expert on the topic, it would be best to enquire about this on WP:Rivers. Most of the available research is on the last ~20km before the mouth, rather then the upstream. Respublik (talk) 15:04, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, lets keep the status quo until someone finds actually a more precise source about this MKW100 (talk) 09:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
