This page should have a wikilink to India, like in the Census of India page. Oh no no no no no (talk) 10:34, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ - WP:OVERLINKING says we should not link major countries - and most people would agree that India is a major country - Arjayay (talk) 11:37, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Per what you linked: "The purpose of linking is to clarify and to provide reasonable navigation opportunities", hence why such links exist in the lead on similar pages despite being major countries like List of United States cities by population, List of cities in Brazil by population, List of cities in Germany by population, and in fact in searching these examples I cannot find a single article where this is not done because this is such an obvious navigability desire.
 * Given that this page is the top result for googling 'Indian cities by population', proceeding in to the India page is very reasonable and this page is unusual in not linking to the topic country. Oh no no no no no (talk) 03:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Change old city names to their new official names
Names of many cities need to be updated to their new ones, like: Bangalore to Bengaluru, Aurangabad to Sambhaji Nagar, Allahabad to Prayagraj, Mysore to Mysuru, etc. 2409:408C:8E16:D6BE:0:0:6EC9:9009 (talk) 08:18, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌. We use the "Common names" in English for our articles, not the "Official names" - Arjayay (talk) 12:08, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Kindly insert Berhampore which is a "city"(not UA) of population "305,609" as per its dedicated Wikipedia article. Berhampore belongs to Murshidabad district, West Bengal, not to be confused with Brahmapur, Odisha
 * ❌. That would be an inappropriate change for several reasons. First, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Second, this article is based on the official census data, not other sources. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 12:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Veraval, Gujarat
Hello @Daniel Quinlan, i added that city as per the article page Veraval which has those figures. And also, the lastest figures are of 2011 also those numbers are mentioned in the official website of India which is here. Regards. Curious man123 (talk) 04:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * The article is based on the Excel spreadsheet that's the third reference in the current article. It's not a good idea to use Wikipedia as a reference (see WP:RSPWP). While those are 2011 numbers, those are the numbers for the U.A. rather than the city. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
