I can understand making an argument for moving this from
Oak Orchard River to
Oak Orchard Creek, but to just unilaterally do it seems premature. The usage I've found seems split between the two forms, certainly within an order of magnitude of each other. Furthermore, was it really necessary to remove the "River" usage entirely from the article? The article previously mentioned the Creek as an alternate name; shouldn't the still mention that both names are used?
