Merge 2 articles into this one?

[edit]

I propose merging List of cities with over one million inhabitants and the population chart in Megacity (which could then be transculded) into this list and using the more recent statistics in those articles. The reason I want to merge them is because they overlap a lot. The reason I propose merging into this one is because it has a lot more readership.

I agree that it is not possible to merge both lists because they are too different in style and substance. My idea would be to change the title of the List section with city proper, urban area and metro population into "Overview" and add the list of the million-plus cities below it with some explanation.--Afus199620 (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can we delete this request? It's nonsensical and will make things unweildy. 2401:7000:CB35:8900:349B:5597:48E7:70D3 (talk) 10:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Closing, with no merge, given that the specific proposal has no support, there are objections, and the discussion is stale. Klbrain (talk) 17:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OPPOSE Per above. 58.152.51.59 (talk) 00:54, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't put two items in same table cells

[edit]

I click to sort on metropolitan area population... and where is New York? Down below, because the two items in the same HTML table cell wreck the sort! Jidanni (talk) 13:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pune might be wrong.

[edit]

Pune is #59 and is between Suzhou and Harbin. It shows those two cities as having over 6 million people but it shows Pune as having over 7 million people. This might be a mistake as someone might have accidentally put 7 instead of 6. If it were to be changed to six it would be make sense because it would be between the other two. Or it might be in the wrong place. If it were to be moved it would be at #52. 69.62.224.183 (talk) 18:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Good catch, the figures in that column are from the referenced UN 2018 PDF. Declangi (talk)
