Spui (river) → Spui River –
 * Talk page and WP policy both weigh in favor of a parenthesis-free title. Relisted and a note left at WT:RIVERS. Favonian (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2013 (UTC). Red Slash 00:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * See old discussion above. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:11, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Support; more natural title, although I'd prefer "river" to have a lowercase R. Sources don't call it "Spui (river)" and nobody's going to search for that. bobrayner (talk) 03:24, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that in Europe the word "River" usually comes before the name, thus River Spui would be more likely. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * My understanding of the suggested guideline for naming at WP:RIVER was that "River X" only goes for UK/Irish rivers, and that we go with "X" or "X River" for all countries without a common local English-language name for the river. Spui apparently isn't a good home for primary topic reasons, but "X (river)" is a terrible title for reasons I think everyone can agree on. Red Slash 00:37, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Not my understanding. I think you should probably reread WP:NCRIVER. Does anybody say "Danube River", "Rhine River", "Nile River", "Po River", "Volga River" etc etc etc? As far as I know, it's only North America where "River" usually comes after the name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:NCRIVER. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The proposed title is not natural.  There is no basis for the proposed title.  The current title properly conveys the most commonly used name of this topic, "Spui", and is properly disambiguated in a manner that informatively distinguishes this use from others.    --B2C 19:54, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
