The result of the move request was: moved. There is consensus to move the pages to Aller and Aller (Germany) per the discussion below.(non-admin closure) The editor whose username is Z0 13:59, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
– No primary topic [], this maybe could also go at Aller (German river) but I don't think that's needed as non of the other things in Germany appear to be called just "Aller". Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:42, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support. A monthly view of pageview stats does indicate the German river as most viewed over time, plus searchers for River Aller might have wanted the german river, but this sn't conclusive in my view. My searches in Google books etc are inconclusive too, so I judge no primary topic. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Rivers#Multiple rivers with the same name, the project recommends Aller (Germany).

- While I'd say Aller, Germany is better as its not a Germany but in Germany, if that's what the guideline says, that's what we should do. I'd note that Commons:Category:Aller (river) was moved from the base name by me because I didn't realize there was also on in Spain, I'll move that page to the location of this RM outcome.

- @Crouch, Swale: Once I'd read your first sentence twice to understand it, it made me laugh because I'd never thought of it that way! Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:53, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support the first part, as there's no primary topic, but brackets should be used for disambiguation - either (Germany) or (German river). Peter James (talk) 22:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
