Removed entries edit
There can be no Dab entry w/o an article that provides more than a table- or list-entry worth of info (on the topic that the Dab's title has as one of its senses), e.g.:
- *
Rio Tinto (River 1), a river in Rio Tinto - Gondomar, Portugal - *Rio Tinto (Esposende), a parish in the municipality of Esposende, Portugal
- *Rio Tinto (Paraíba), in Paraíba State, Brazil
As to Rio Tinto (River 1) above:
- I struck it thru bcz that would not be an acceptable Dab'n suffix even if something to link to becomes available; there are alternatives.
It doesn't appear likely that any water course lying principally in the 9.5-km2 civil parish (1.7-2.5 km-ish radius of the coordinates given in Rio Tinto (Gondomar)) rises to the criteria for a "river" (with the Douro being 5 km to S and the Leça River, draining nearly 200 km2 to its NW and probably N), and the Rio Tinto lacks mention in pt:Anexo:Lista_de_rios_de_Portugal#T, so the solution, if ever needed, may be Rio Tinto (stream) or Rio Tinto (brook). Rio Tinto (Portuguese river) it would be a last resort and (given the fame of the Spanish river, let alone its corporate eponym) would not require the Spanish one to "give up" the title "Rio Tinto (river)".
