New york city
Is new york city on the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.217.70.184 (talk) 22:58, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Legal literacy
The study linked is about homicide. Homicide is not murder. The legal definition of homicide is one person killing another. This can happen in accidents, in cases of self defense, in cases where police must shoot a criminal and many other events that don't count as murder by the law of a country. I don't know how to do it, but page should probably be changed to "List of cities by homicide rate". 216.58.122.145 (talk) 21:52, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

delete this page
This page needs to be trashed. A cursory check of some of the data shows it to be flat wrong. The number of homicides in Chicago are half what the page reports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.171.157 (talk) 15:57, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Mosul
What's Mosul, Iraq, doing on a list that claims to exclude the Middle East? Junuxx (talk) 10:37, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Bizarre tag message
The validity of this list is questionable/misleading when no information is provided about the sample. A great deal more information about how this list was developed is necessary within the article. Does the contributor who added this tag realize that information on murders isnn't generally obtained through surveys? Bataaf van Oranje (talk) 18:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Cities in the world?
Only two are outside of the Americas, both in South Africa.

Nassau, Bahamas should be included:

 * There's an important caveat at the beginning of the article: the list is of cities "not at war, with a population of at least 300,000 people, and all relevant data available online". Nassau's population is less than 300,000. -- Irn (talk) 20:56, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Safest Cities?
I was hoping to see which cities have the lowest homicide rate. Can someone find that? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 14:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

A single source, and it doesn't pass the smell test
This namespace is predicated entirely on a blog post at "WorldAtlas.com", which doesn't give any sources for their numbers whatsoever. This page should be made to cite verifiable statistics (e.g. UNODC, which I personally think is biased as hell, but at least verifiable for WP:RS purposes) or, failing that, nominated for deletion. 70.30.100.138 (talk) 03:49, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Do not delete. It is very useful even if not fully RS.

Delete/Edit this page
We should delete this page. It's based on only two dubious sources and unifficial sources (worldatlas.com and seguridadyjusticia.org, and apparently, the first source is only replicating the info from the latter). Unless we provide official data from official sources, this article should be deleted. Odiseo79 (talk) 05:56, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The decision to delete a page is made via the Articles for Deletion process, not on the article's talk page. You might want to take a moment to look that over, keeping in mind the notability requirements, specifically the requirements for stand-alone lists, and if you feel it's appropriate, you can nominate the article for deletion there. Cheers, -- irn (talk) 15:46, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

I would suggest edit. I dont see here Offenbach/Main listed. Why? 2016 it was 41.Offenbach has a population of 120.000 people. Can someone add it? Thanks.

Wrong counting on number of cities by countries
It shows islamabad as number2. But in the section by country. It does not show pakistan with one city. And instead venezuela has 5 cities..it should be only 4. Tha nks Nelsongonzalez2019 (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The page had been vandalized. (Islamabad does not appear on the list.) Thanks for pointing this out! -- irn (talk) 21:21, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

The 10th city on this list should be Vitória Da Conquista, in Bahia, Brazil, not Vitória in Espírito Santo. The 10th city should be changed from Vitória in the state of Espirot Santo to Vitória Da Conquista in the state of Bahia, Brazil. This information is according to the Consejo Ciudano para la Seguridad Pública y la Justicia Penal A.C, which I believe is the source included within the page. I will include a link to the source below: http://www.seguridadjusticiaypaz.org.mx/sala-de-prensa/1589-metodologia-del-ranking-2019-de-las-50-ciudades-mas-violentas-del-mundo

Please make this change, as currently the city in the 10th position is incorrect. 179.153.35.136 (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

X= Northern Ireland Y= Northern Ireland The reason being is that Northern Ireland has no flag. 176.35.191.69 (talk) 11:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't know which flag Wikipedia uses, but the Northern Ireland flag issue has some information NotAGenious (talk) 12:42, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

✅. In the main Northern Ireland article there have been at least ten talk page discussions about which, if any flag to display in the infobox; the most recent consensus seems to be none. I am going to delete the flag icon in this article on that basis. (Note: In addition to the flag issue article, there is also a Flag of Northern Ireland article, which seems redundant--but that's a different conversation. Xan747 (talk) 15:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
