Talk:Greer, Arizona

Population figure
Greer doesn't have a census figure, so I made a best guess from several online articles. User:Nyttend reverted, commenting only US Census figures can be used. But this is a Catch-22 situation, and anyway WP:WikiProject Cities/Guideline, apparently the source of this rule, explicitly states that it is "just a guideline and there are no requirements to follow it in editing."

Since there are no census data, and we can make a reasonable population estimate from reliable sources, this seems a useful bit of common-sense information for the article. --Pete Tillman (talk) 01:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Neither of the sources provide either of the numbers that were listed for the population, so this is OR to say that the population is 90-125; in fact, one of the two sources lists all population for Greer as N/A. What's the problem with what's called a Catch-22 (forgive me for not understanding, but I don't see how this fits Catch-22 (logic)?  Community articles nationwide depend on Census Bureau data alone, as the only definitive source: who can possibly say where Greer begins and ends, and therefore how many people live there?  With no municipal boundaries, and no CDP boundaries, there's no way anyone can determine the population of the community.  For this reason is population data for Greer impossible to source reliably, and therefore unsuitable for Wikipedia.  Nyttend (talk) 02:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't realise that Greer had a post office until just now: a ZIP Code Tabulation Area provides a good regional estimate of the area, and the reliable Census Bureau source too. Nyttend (talk) 02:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks -- I wondered why there was no Census data for Greer. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 21:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
