....bad
Why do the cities ed in "bad" like Islamabad, Ahmedabad. etc... Is it something to do with the language? I presume it means cityTourskin 05:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I cannot give you any source right now, but probably this suffix "-bad" comes from abad which in Urdu (and may be in Arabic) means a populated place. nagar is another suffix for many South Asian places. Nagar in Sanskrit means town. These are somewhat like "-ville" in many English speaking nations. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it translates as "City of Ahmed" (Sultan Ahmed Shah being the founder). As far as I know the suffix abad originates in Persian. Abecedare 09:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The suffix 'abad' comes from Persian not Arabic. It means 'abode' or dwelling place not exactly 'city'. Maquahuitl 13:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Great Religious Diversity?
As it is now, the article states that this city enjoys "great religious diversity." It seems to me that the majority of citizens are hindu. What constitutes great religious diversity? Diversity compared to what? 68.165.56.43 17:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC) – — … ‘ “ ’ ” ° ″ ′ ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Jigs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.69.158.246 (talk) 19:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Why make comments which have no factual basis, have you ever been to Ahmedabad? What do you know about ahmedabad. To make any comments about any city without even having seen it once in person is nothing but a prejudiced remark made by the one sided reporting of a place made by some third person. Please visit ahmedabad first before making such comments. I have enough hindu, muslim, christian, sikh, jain, parsi and sindhi friends to know that such a diversity exists and i dont depend on some media reports but i know it first hand. And please if you do want to start a debate do not go and hide under the cloak of anonymity. lets have a free and fair debate about it under wiki policy.Kaushal mehta 08:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Come on guys, let's be civil about this.. Maybe he is asking a genuine question.. let's not get defensive. --Rev.bayes 22:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As far as wiki policy goes, when you say that you "dont depend on some media reports but i know it first hand", you are exactly describing what is called Original Research. Eleven even (talk) 04:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with the comment 'great religious diversity'. If you go to lal darwaja, you have a mahalaxmi temple and opposite to it you have a big masjid. I know people from different religions living happiliyt togather for years in ahmedabad. But at times is highly sensitive to communal riots.
 * Seems that Ahmedabad does have religious diversity, especially when compared to baselines in other parts of the world. Is that what OP was asking?  I mean, if you compare to the diversity of a Scandinavian country, for example, Ahmedabad seems very diverse.  According to Kaushal mehta, there are clearly well over 6 major religions represented within the city.  I believe this constitutes "religious diversity" Amit (talk) 03:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I have moved it hear in keeping with our external links guidelines so unconnected editors can evaluate its appropriateness. Many of the websites entries are short and may not contain much more than the articles they have been added to.

This edit to the demographics section represents rank original research. There is no reference to indicate that the current population estimate of Ahmedabad is anywhere near 60 lakh (6 million).

this article has neutrality and citation issues
Various gems that I have found:
 * Ahmedabad has become a hot spot for real estate development many developers are eyeing the Ahmedabad market for development of residential property.
 * Unsourced.


 * Ahmedabad is on its way to become be the Detroit of the East
 * Senseless and unsourced promotionalism.


 * Ahmedabad is a thriving center for Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries... In recent year many foreign companies have set up their sales offices and production facilities in Ahmedabad.
 * This is a nice example of unsourced wikipuffery.


 * Ahmedabad enjoys a thriving cultural tradition
 * So doesn't every other city?


 * Ahmedabad is only city where Marriott group hotel has exclusive veg restaurant in the world
 * An extraordinary, but unsourced claim.


 *  However, it is most famous for its food stalls that start to emerge around 8 in the evening, with various local street snacks and goodies. Out of all Pineapple Sandwich & Gwalia Dhosa are world famous
 * Most famous compared to what?


 * in the new city, one can also find the North American restaurants like McDonald's and Subway

Wrong sex ratio
AFAIK sex ratio is approx. equal to 1.0. Here the number is 903. What is the correct number? Gil_mo (talk) 04:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I suspect the number comes from the Census of India source. I can't find the latest data right now, but this is the 2001 data: . You can see that they use the numbers as number of girls per 1000 boys. This is not the scientific standard, you are correct, but is the CoI standard. If you want, you could correct it based on census data and use the most common scientific notation. effeietsanders 07:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It's 903. I got the source, it's from census 2011 government website here. The first .xls file contains the information. --kondi talk/contribs 08:27, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the number is probably correct. But the way it is presented is not the scientific standard. See Sex ratio - usually the ratio results in a number between 0 and 2 depending on the definition used. effeietsanders 12:18, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In the infobox i've written 1.11. --kondi talk/contribs 13:22, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * are tourist websites accepted?? Even govt ones??? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think so as it is recognized by Tourism ministry of Guj and Govt. of India. So it is less likely that they will upload false info. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions 05:52, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: I haven't removed the references for now. But TheSpecialUser how can you (and want us to) believe that the website is acknowledged by Govt of Gujarat? Kondi (talk) 07:49, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

See this: http://www.gujaratindia.com/ (Official state portal) in the bottom of the page, theres a link which opens into http://www.gujarattourism.com/ from which, I cited. If you still feel that the website is not proper, please remove the ref and also try to find few. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions 07:56, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoa, first of all the discussion here is about and, I was referring to these two websites. Second you might wanna see the history to see how many references I have added (and which are reliable). Kondi (talk) 09:47, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * GujaratIndia.com says Copyright 2009, which may result in factual inaccuracy. A Tourism site, Govt. or not, serves to get more people to the locality, and hence will have a POV. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * We work per consensus so please remove if this is final. → TheSpecialUser TalkContributions 09:57, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Consensus isn't required for removing dubious refs. Besides, since you are aiming for a GA, remember that during the review, such links will be removed. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:59, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Transport
The transport section shouldn't be more than a paragraph long, nor should it have sections as most of the content is already present in a separate dedicated article. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:33, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

More information needed
Very little information about the new west zone of Ahmedabad is included in the article; a lot of these areas are fast becoming the most important commercial stretches of the city. Including some information and pictures might be a good idea.

Himalay mall is not one of the biggest malls in ahmedabad
It never was too. It was one of the most popular but its not even that now. Iskon mall is the biggest mall in ahmedabad or maybe balaji agora, need to check my facts on this one.

Please insert this information into the article regarding Ahmedabad's pioneering Heat Action Plan:

Ahmedabad is the first city in India and South Asia to comprehensively address the health threats of extreme heat. The Ahmedabad Heat Action Plan is attempting to do so through an early warning system and heat preparedness plan. It also focuses on community participation, building public awareness of the risks of extreme heat, training medical and community workers to prevent and respond to heat-related illnesses, and coordinating an interagency emergency response effort when heat waves hit.

1. SUMMARY BOX (ON THE RIGHT EDGE) i)There seems to be some confusion in the literacy rates of Ahmedabad, the city vs Ahmedabad, the district.

CORRECTION- Literacy rate: 89.62% (and not 86.65% as mentioned in the box.

Orphaned references in Ahmedabad
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ahmedabad's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "USIndia": From Pune:  From Bangalore:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:12, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Merge Jamalpur
It seems that Jamalpur, Gujarat is a district of the city which may not be independently notable, so I suggest a merge in. Klbrain (talk) 22:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with merge but look at Category:Neighbourhoods in Ahmedabad. Many of them are of same size and info, mostly without refs. What should we do about them?--Nizil (talk) 18:59, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

hi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.204.146.66 (talk) 12:37, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it should not be merged. Jamalpur is a notable neighbourhood which is often mentioned in the news. I have added some additional information to the article. A145029 (talk) 03:16, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Restoring reverted edits
My recent edit to this page was reverted as it appeared to the editor to be WP:ADVOCACY of a particular point of view, specifically waste management in Indian cities or by Indian municipalities. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and see myself as a steward for water, sanitation and solid waste management related content on the site. These are the issues that I intend to write about in a neutral, balanced and informative manner. On reading my edits to the Ahmedabad page you will find that all of the content is verifiable i.e. it is sourced from reliable and published sources. My writing style, in my opinion, is (1) fact based, (2) neutral in tone without any puffery, contentious labels or unsupported attributions and (3) balanced i.e. holistic and not highlighting fringe views. I do not regard my edits as WP:ADVOCACY and would like to restore the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swmwash (talk • contribs) 14:20, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

GA check
I am working my way through the Good articles listed at Places; having a quick look to see if they still meet the Good article criteria. I have reached this article. After I've had a quick look, I'll leave a note here. In general, initially I look to see if there are obvious issues: maintenance tags, unsourced sections, excessive media, etc, and if so, if this can be resolved quickly by myself. If it looks like there may be significant and/or several minor issues, I'll open a GAR to see the extent of the problems. If it looks like there are sufficient concerns to put the GA listing in jeopardy, and that significant work is needed to resolve the concerns, I will notify the main contributors to the article, and put the GAR on hold.

 * Article has been tagged with sourcing concerns since Dec 2013, the lead does not adequately summarise the article, it is cluttered with inappropriate media and images. Opening GAR.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  20:16, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Is procession of Tajia during the Muslim holy month of Muharram intrinsic to the Culture of Ahmedabad ?
Just like Diwali, Holi, or Christmas, Muharram is celebrated pan India by Muslims. I think the Culture of Ahmedabad section should be unique to Ahmedabad only. Refer This.

Please let me know if you have any arguments. Would like to discuss it. SpunkyGeek (talk)  01:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


 * As you know, there is an article Demographics and culture of Ahmedabad. I can see the case for moving some of the stuff (where backed by citations that really support what is said) to the article on the culture of Ahmedabad. -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Area and population figures in the infobox

 * 1) Times of India, 19 July 2020. Ahmedabad's area has increased by 39 sq km to approximately 505 sq km, encompassing a population of approximately 75 lakh now. ... Ahmedabad has added 39 sq km with one full municipality, Bopal-Ghuma; two villages, Chiloda-Narodagam and Kathwada; and partial revenue areas of seven villages, Sanathal, Bisalpur, Aslali, Geratnagar, Bilasiya, Ranasan and Khodiyar. The city area is now 505 sq km, from 466 sq km earlier.
 * 2) GNS News, 19 July 2020 (dead link but start of the article was archived).]|undefined Ahmedabad’s area has increased by 39 sq km to approximately 505 sq km, encompassing a population of approximately 75 lakh now
 * 3) Citizen Matters, 8 September 2020. ... the Bopal and Ghuma Municipality, which have now been included in the Amdavad (Ahmedabad) Municipal Corporation limits. ... When the 2011 Development Plan became operational in 2013-14, the AMC civic limits was 466 sq km until the new areas added 39 sq km to this, taking the total to 505 sq km.
 * 4) Amdavad Municipal Corporation (archive link to their old website), 27 June 2013. Area 464.16 sq km. Population (2001) 45,05,539 Also has a brief summary of the history of Amdavad city [another spelling of Ahmedabad]
 * 5) Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority. In addition to the area falling under the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's limit, it also includes 5 growth centers and 169 villages of Ahmedabad district. The expansion of AUDA comes of 186600 Hectares(1866-sq. km.) Area, which includes Ahmedabad City (Municipal Corporation) of 44950 Hectares.
 * 6) Amdavad Municipal Corporation (current website). In 2006, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation included 17 other municipalities and 30 Gram Panchayats in its jurisdiction. Therefore, the total area of Municipal Corporation became 449.343 sq.kms. and its population reached up to 44,42,498. In 2008, the municipalities of Chandkheda and Motera were also included in the jurisdiction of the corporation. At present, the total area of the mega city is 464.16 sq. kms. and its population according to 2001 census is 45,05,539. Does not mention the elevation, which is the fact it is cited for.
 * 7) worldpopulationreview.com. Ahmedabad's 2023 population is now estimated at 8,650,605. ... These population estimates and projections come from the latest revision of the UN World Urbanization Prospects. These estimates represent the Urban agglomeration of Ahmedabad, which typically includes Ahmedabad's population in addition to adjacent suburban areas. ... As of 2016, there is an estimated population of over 7 million people living in Ahmedabad, and over 8 million people living in the metropolitan area. i.e. the data come from modelling, and it is not explicit which definition of Ahmedabad's boundaries the data are for.
 * 8) citypopulation.de. Has census data for Ahmedabad urban agglomeration given below.  It gives the area for the 2011 census as 471 sq km, and the elevation as 53 m.

So the two data for area in the infobox are (1) the area of the Municipal Corporation (the city) 505 sq km, and (2) Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority 1866 sq km. This needs to be made clearer. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:00, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Citations 1, 2 and 3 support the Municipal Corporation figure. Citations 4 and 5 are for two different old versions of the Municipal Corporation figure and should not be cited for it.
 * Citation 5 supports the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority. It is rather concerning that it has a figure of 449.5 sq km for the Municipal Corporation, which is out of date.
