Clive RiverTe Awa o Mokotūāraro – Name of the river has been officially changed. The name "Clive River" now has no official status Rohivanion (talk) 11:08, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Per WP:COMMONNAME "Although official, scientific, birth, original, or trademarked names are often used for article titles, the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred." I wonder if Clive River may still be the name most typically used in reliable sources. However, this may change quickly now the official name has been altered.JohnmgKing (talk) 12:20, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've failed to find how it should be pronounced in English. Is it a good idea to use a name that has such a problem? --Martin Tauchman (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Martin Tauchman I'm not sure that is such a problem. Many articles for place names in New Zealand that are known primarily or exclusively by a Mãori name don't have a pronunciation guide. See, for example, Ōtorohanga. Rohivanion (talk) 19:12, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
