Let's move this article to
Yeşilırmak River. The current name (
Yeşil River) is naïve and misleading. In Turkish, Yeşilırmak is one name; it's non-analysable. If necessary, one speaks of the Yeşilırmak Nehri (nehir being the normal word for river).
Yeşilırmak River is the equivalent. Yeşil, by the bye, is the ordinary Turkish word for ‘green’, so a real anglicization would be
Green River. But in fact nobody uses that name to refer to this river. I mean, imagine if the German Wikipedia translated all the towns named Greenville as *Greenstadt: *Yeşil River is equally absurd.

Oppose. Real and common name is Yeşilırmak (river), green river is not the common name among native english speakers
