Source of the Danube → Sources of the Danube – Consistency with Sources of the Rhine and usage in the article itself. Srnec (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Support. The current title gives the impression that there is a single primary source of the Danube. Note that MOS:SINGULAR expresses an exception when a subject is a class that contains multiple things. The article says that it is common for some people to identify a single source for the Danube, but also that different people would identify a different source when doing so (e.g., the source of the Donaubach or the source of the Breg). This case seems more clear than the justification for title of Sources of the Rhine, since the article on that subject says there is one source that is generally credited as the source of the Rhine. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:22, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
