Moves[edit]

A River system is different from a River. The Surma-Meghna river system consists of several different rivers. I've reverted the move to the Surma-Meghna River system because of this. This article is about the river and NOT the river system. The Surma-Meghna River system would definitely be a related article which we can include in "See also" section of this article. For precedent from other encyclopedias, see Banglapedia. That has a parent article for the River system, and also individual, detailed articles for each river. --Ragib 17:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that there is enough information to warrant three, five or seven articles. When there is we can create them. The root article, as you suggested in comparison with the Banglapedia, would seem to be the first one to be written. Read the article as it now stands and let me know what you think? --Bejnar 17:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The rewrite you made here is more suitable for the parent article, as indicated below. The old version before the rewrite is suitable for the article on Meghna. Please create the parent article and do the summary style overview of the system there, rather than merging all rivers into a huge article. Thanks. --Ragib 18:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the proposed hierarchy, per WP:SUMMARY:

"Surma-Meghna river system" (on the system, not on rivers)
- Meghna River
- Surma River
- Kushiara River
- Barak River

We do have enough information on each river to have its own article. Please follow the links to each river article in Banglapedia. Thanks. --Ragib 17:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We will have those articles when we write them. Right now we have enough in the Wikipedia article for the parent article. Some of the material in the Banglapedia is questionable and conflicts with data in academic publications such as Mannan, Abdul (2002) "Stratigraphic evolution and geochemistry of the Neogene Surma Group, Surma Basin, Sylhet, Bangladesh" University of Oulu, Oulu, Bangladesh. Let us have both. I am creating a new river system page, and will strip out the non-Meghna stuff here. Is that agreeable? --Bejnar 18:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fine. --Ragib 18:25, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDIA Banner/Manipur workgroup Addition[edit]

{{WP India}} with Manipur workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Manipur or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate , please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 05:56, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Depth[edit]

I have seen variously sources claming the maximum depth is over 1600 feet deep. Is this true, because this seems very extreme for a river. Congo is only half that deep and is the deepest river in the world. Only a few lakes even get that deep. - April 7, 2020
