Talk:List of cities in Chile

Largest cities
I think the list of largest cities should be made into its own page. It should also be turned into an actual list of cites by size. There should also be a separate list of largest conurbations. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Communes vs. cities
This Wikipedia article mixes communes (municipalities) and cities. La Florida (365,563 inhabitants) is not and has never been a city. Puente Alto (492,603 inhabitants) was a separate city 20 years ago, but not now. A conurbation is a fancy name that means currently a city, even if 50 years ago there were many of them. May be useful for the difference between Valparaiso and Viña del Mar (a psychological one) but not for La Florida and Las Condes. Pablo.cl (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We are using the INE definition of city that you can learn about in the article's introduction and is available in the source listed at the bottom of the article. Pristino (talk) 04:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That hardly makes sense. So a city that happens to have x inhabitants suddenly is divided into cities of their own because the internal administrative divisions happen to have a specific amount of people despite them all being together as opposed to away from other urban areas with that specific quantity of inhabitants? So La reina and Peñalolén happen to be the same as Iquique with Puerto Aisén? The OP is completely right in calling out this outrageous decision, which doesn't happen to exist in the Spanish version of this page. Also, if you check the communes of Santiago in Spanish, you won't find any ridiculous claims about them being cities. Jeez.

Inaccurate and outdated information
The information on this page is inaccurate (for example the population of Valparaiso) and it has a column for data from the 2012 census that is completely empty. This page should either be deleted or should be updated thoroughly 98.37.77.41 (talk) 23:34, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
