The result of the move request was: moved. There appears to be a consensus that the resulting redirect should also be retargeted but no clear consensus on where. I'd suggest just being bold, but if there is any disagreement take it to WP:RFD for a discussion. Jenks24 ( talk) 06:55, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Rhine Valley →
Alpine Rhine – The title is confusing and could apply to any part of the Rhine valley from source to sea. This article is specifically about that section of the River Rhine between its headstreams and Lake Constance, usually known in the sources as the Alpine Rhine e.g.
The Rhine by Knepper and Bik or
Rivers of Europe by Tockner, Uehlinger and Robinson.
Alpine Rhine redirects here already. I would have moved it over the redirect, but don't have the permissions.

@ ZH8000: Here are the adapted changes, i used better sources and translation methods - there idea is to discuss it here and when they are in a optimal state, we can move it to the article... does that work for you?
Another point of discussion: the German article is about the Apine Rhine Valley. It links to this page which is titled "Alphin Rhine" which is only the river but the article is also much about the valley. My suggestion: we should either rename the article to "Alpine Rhine Valley" to represent better existing content or create another article with that name and move all the information about the valley there. What do you think?
The Alpine Rhine Valley ( German: Alpenrheintal) is a glacial alpine valley, formed by the part of the Alpine Rhine (German: ) between the confluence of the Anterior Rhine and Posterior Rhine at Reichenau and the Alpine Rhine's mouth at Lake Constance.
It covers three countries and the full length of the Apine-Rhine is 93.5 km. [1] From Reichenau, the Alpine Rhine flows east, passing Chur and turning north, forms the border between the canton of St. Gallen of Switzerland on the left, west side and Principality of Liechtenstein Liechtenstein on the east side. The Swiss-Austrian border follows the historical bed of the Rhine, but today the river follows an artificial canal within Austria for the final 5 kilometres (3 mi). The Rhine then crosses Vorarlberg, Austria and flows into Lake Constance, south of Lindau (Germany) which is no longer part of the Rhine-Valley. [2]
The Rhine Valley in this area extends to about 80 kilometres (50 mi). Its upper third has the character of an Alpine valley, enclosing a bottom plain of about 1 to 4 kilometres (0.6 to 2.5 mi) across. Downstream of Vaduz, the valley widens considerably, developing into a broad plain, measuring some 10 kilometres (6 mi) across at its lower end along the southern shores of Lake Constance. From the point of the Rhine's emergence from Lake Constance, it is known as High Rhine.
The alpine valley is flanked by the alps its mountain ranges (eg Alpstein, Plessuralpen, Rätikon Calanda, Albula Alps, Glarner Alps), some more than 3000 m high. The highest mountain of the Alpine rhein valley, the Ringelspitz, lies at the beginning, above Tamins. At 3'247 m, it is also the highest peak of the canton of St. Gallen, bordering the Alps valley with its southeast flank.
The Alpine Rhine forms the eastern boundary of the Swiss cantons of Grisons and St. Gallen to Austria and Liechtenstein. Administrative parts of the Rhine Valley are:
