Afghanistan is in the Middle East so it needs to be added Marga12345 (talk) 20:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * According to the list at Middle East Afghanistan isn't usually considered part of the Middle East. Can we have some more comments and try to reach agreement on removing it? -- Boreas74  You'll catch more flies with honey 20:41, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Lebanon is repeated
The country of Lebanon is listed twice. The current population is 4.224 million according to Wikipedia citing the UN. Looks like Libya should be in the higher slot but I don't know how to edit this table. 66.147.172.7 (talk) 21:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

This table doesn't include Iraq
Needs to be fixed

Title
Hey, guys,

The article's title doesn't sound correct to me. It should be "List of Middle Eastern countries by population," not "List of Middle East countries by population." "Middle East" is a noun. "Middle Eastern" is an adjective and adjectives go before the nouns they describe (in this case, countries.)

Kurdistan
Kurdistan is listed as the third largest Middle Eastern country with a population of 47,505,000. But clicking on the Kurdistan link takes the user to Iraqi Kurdistan, which lists a population of 8,350,000. Iranian Kurdistan lists a population of 6,738,787. Kurds estimates 26-34 million Kurds in the Middle East, but Kurdish population estimates 30-40 million, more in line with 47,505,000 (but no source is given). Apparently "Kurdistan" is being defined as a "dependent territory", although that should be plural rather than singular.

Kurdistan is not officially a country though. Wikileb123 (talk) 14:54, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Cyprus
Cyprus is in the Middle East and not listed in the table! Wikileb123 (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Eygpt
Egypt is not in middle East...just to correct you. Egypt is an African country. Ezekiel Fonyam (talk) 11:56, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

so is Palistine's population included in Israel's data?
It should be cleared, right? Is the Palestinian population being counted double (once in Israel and once in Palestine) ? 2804:14C:482:72FD:5837:4300:4F49:B461 (talk) 12:16, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
