Tana River (Finland)
editInteresting progression: Tana River → Tana River (Finnland) → Tana River (Finland)
Since it is called the Tana in Norwegian but the Tenojoki in Finland one might infer that the person cleaning these links up mistook the county of Finnmark in Norway for Finland. Not surprising; more than one person has made that misread.
Lacking any load outcry, I intend to change this to Tana River (Norway) for the pure logic of it.

More additions (?) and a few remarks
editLongest suspension bridge in Norway??? Doesn't make sense, a lot of bridges crossing fjords are much longer.
Tana, to my knowledge, is the most productive salmon river in western Europe, and possibly in Europe (not quite sure about the large Siberian rivers). The river delta is large, one of the largest in Western Europe. This is one of the few rivers in Norway which actually might be called a "mighty river" as it is very wide along large parts of its course. A notable feature is the fact that the ice melts earlier in the southern part, while the lower, northern part of the river is still locked by the ice, thus the ice scurves the lowland near the river in spring, making the river course wider. The river valley around Tana (and its tributary, Karasjohka) is covered with pine and some birch forests, and are thus a lot more lush than the mostly barren Finnmark plateau. There are also several eastern plants common in Siberia, like the siberian garlic. Should something of this be mentioned in the article? Orcaborealis 11:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Rename
editThis seems like a strange name format to me, given that we also have Tana, Norway. Shouldn't the word "river" be included somehow? - Themightyquill (talk) 14:10, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Tana (Norway) → Tana (Finland and Norway) – This is an international river located in Norway and Finland. However, I'm unsure about the appropriate naming convention for the disambiguator in this case; compare it to examples like Arun River (China–Nepal), Milk River (Alberta–Montana), New River (Mexico–United States), Manso River (Argentina and Chile), San Miguel River (Ecuador and Peru), Torne (Finnish and Swedish river). 87.95.200.153 (talk) 17:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Support changing the name from the current but not "Tana (Finland and Norway)". I do not support using "and" in the title but I do support using "–". And why not add "River" to the name? I suggest the title be Tana River (Norway–Finland). Norway first because that's where the mouth is. Masterhatch (talk) 23:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Support or Move to Tana (Finland–Norway), per nom and above. Do prefer "–" over "and", however it is used elsewhere so not a reason to not use it. The countries should be kept alphabetical however for simplicity and consistency.
Lean opposeNeutral on adding "River" not sure if it is commonly added to it as part of a proper name (otherwise it should be de-capped as "river"), as all the sources in the article are non-English. But I note that commons uses "Tana River (Fennoscandia)". DankJae 19:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC) - Support or move to Tana River (Finland–Norway). Alphabetical ordering of countries is consistent with Finland–Norway border. The search gives the impression that capitalized "River" is fairly common addition, although there's no full consistency within those results. Some results without "River" refer to Tana Municipality.

Tana River (Finland–Norway) → Tana (Finland–Norway) – "River" is not part of the name. See WP:RIVER#AT. 2600:1700:6180:6290:68D3:4E39:2F2D:24D5 (talk) 16:03, 9 August 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 17:22, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

- Support. There are a couple of articles with the name format "X River" in the Category:Rivers of Norway, but the general rule is to not include "River" in the title. In Category:Rivers of Finland, no other article has such title. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 03:26, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
