Torridge → Torridge District – Per WP:NATURAL and WP:COMMONNAME the district is usually called "Torridge District" in a generic context even though "Torridge" is the preferred label by the OS, presumably when its clear from the context that you're referring to the district. The district is named after the River Torridge which gets a comparable number of views [|River_Torridge] and probably has more long-term significance. A Google Book search returns many results for the river. There is also MV Torridge Lass and Torridge and West Devon (UK Parliament constituency) that could also go on the DAB, though the latter is probably a PTM. There is also a Domesday place in the Plympton Hundred, near Plymouth.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 20:12, 13 December 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Support. Not even a clear PT. The proposed natural disambiguation, which is common in sources, and the proposed DAB would serve readers far better than the current ambiguous article title. Andrewa (talk) 15:22, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
