infobox

I don't think the present contents of the infobox are how they should be. Are all the mentioned villages notable (BTW I wouldn't call Târgu Mureş and Arad villages)? Are all the mentioned rivers really major tributaries? If we really want to give all this information, I think it should go into the main text of the article, and only the really important places (e.g. population over 20,000) and rivers (e.g. length over 50 km or average discharge over 5 m³/s) into the infobox. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes). This probably goes for more articles about rivers in Romania, I just stumbled upon this one. Markussep ^Talk 09:21, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The name

The title of the article will be the Romanian name, like in Encyclopedia Britannica http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/398087/Mures-River

The length is 803 km (761 in Romania) http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidrografia_Rom%C3%A2niei

In the same manner Tisa river http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisza has the Hungarian name (Tisza)

Also, the correct length is 803, not 761 as it was first in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iaaasi (talk • contribs) 06:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mention by Herodotus

The Romanian version of this article records Herodotus mentioning the river in 484 BCE as bearing the name "Maris".

Could someone add that to the article? I'm not too good at Wikipedia for now...

Hi new user,

That seems to already have been added by another user. Hope to see you more on Wikipedia soon!

Proposed merge of Băița (Fleț) into Mureș (river)

This article is short and would be better suited to deletion or merging. Skingo12 (talk) 21:02, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, similar to the Luț proposal below. I think this river is notable (14 km long), and there is already quite some information in the article (length, basin size, coordinates, mouth location, references). Markussep ^Talk 07:56, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Fleț into Mureș (river)

This article is short and better suited to deletion or merging to the main river article. Skingo12 (talk) 21:06, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, similar to the Luț proposal below. I think this river is notable (20 km long), and there is already quite some information in the article (length, basin size, coordinates, mouth location, references). Markussep ^Talk 07:50, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Luț into Mureș (river)

This article is short and better suited to deletion or merging with the main rivers article. Skingo12 (talk) 21:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. See WP:GEOLAND. I think we agree that this river is notable (it's not a small river BTW, 48 km long), and I'm sure the article can be expanded. There is already quite some information in the article (length, basin size, coordinates, villages along its course, references), I don't see how we can keep all that after merging with Mureș (river), without expanding that article to enormous size if we would merge articles about all similar or smaller sized tributaries as well. Markussep ^Talk 07:46, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since there were no other contributions to this discussion for six weeks, I'm removing the merge tags from the four involved articles. Markussep ^Talk 08:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
