I couldn't relocate the exact .jpg I used, but the info's all over the net, so I've cited a reliable source at the bottom of the page that can be referred to. The numbers are the same. Thanks for the hard work 'text'ing it all, and I apologize for my sloppiness with citation! --LordSuryaofShropshire 13:38, Apr 7, 2004 (UTC)

2010 World Gazetteer figures are out. Adding the update tag if anyone wants to update the article before I get the chance to. Elockid ^(Talk·_Contribs) 03:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pune Metropolitan Region is the seventh largest in India GreenExcalibur (talk) 14:28, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It says 46,049,032 despite both refs 1 and 2 saying around 21,753,486. Am I missing something here? ‑Ugog Nizdast (talk) 12:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ref2 is provisional, not final.--Vin09 (talk) 12:45, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

4.60 is correct per this ref, ref2 it is metro region. MCR is not delhi alone, it covers NCT-Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan also.--Vin09 (talk) 12:52, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who ever edits this page please make sure yoi provide correct information based on statistics. I've noticed that the Information provided on this page is not accurate. GreenExcalibur (talk) 14:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenExcalibur:Please report which info is inaccurate.--Vin09 (talk) 14:54, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What incorrect information are you referring to? This sourced list was already at the article. What alternative sourced list do you have? Eldumpo (talk) 12:34, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@

List_of_metropolitan_areas_of_the_United_States which has a heading in first column Metropolitan area which you removed here.--Vin09 (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

• The authorities have wiki links already adjacent to the specific metropolitan region, so need of any citation tags.--Vin09 (talk) 11:59, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so there is already a UA article, so where is the sourced list showing Indian 'Metropolitan Areas'? In the absence of that there must be a doubt about the notability of this Wikipedia list. Eldumpo (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All information in Wikipedia should be directly cited (especially when challenged/tagged), and a link to another Wikipedia page is not enough. In the absence of any kind of referenced list showing these Metropolitan areas how can you argue it is notable for 'Urban Planning Authority' to be one of the columns? Eldumpo (talk) 20:25, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Eldumpo: its not an arguement, if your point is correct then definitely I'll obey, but only the thing is it should not be an issue in future edits, so a detailed discussion is needed. I'll involve other editors also to have their valuable opinion, whatever is correct we'll keep that. @Vensatry, Human3015, Arjayay, Titodutta, Utcursch, and Sitush: Earlier there was a discussion to move List of towns in India by population, when this page was also in the discussion. Please provide your opinion on the discussion.Vin09 (talk) 05:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at the previous move discussions although couldn't see any specific mention of this 'metropolitan areas' list? This list needs to follow core Wikipedia policies such as

WP:SYNTHESIS. Eldumpo (talk) 09:25, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply

Not specifically discussed, just I remember there was a mention. Whatever, we've started here so not a big problem. Let's wait for others views.--Vin09 (talk) 09:35, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is apparently a list of 'metropolitan areas' but following reliable sources is a key part of Wikipedia, so there is a problem if this is just a collection of information arbitrarily pulled together. Synthnot is an essay, why not concentrate instead on Synth which is part of official policy? The Pune source doesn't even have a population figure! Eldumpo (talk) 08:30, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • List of towns in India by population, List of municipal corporations in India all these are similar kind, which do not have a listings on a single reference.--Vin09 (talk) 08:57, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • "This essay is intended to help explain the spirit of that policy. In particular, this essay is intended to oppose taking an excessively strict interpretation of the policy in many cases. After all,
