Talk:List of cities in Mexico

The data presented there is fake, not matching the INEGI and the reference link is CONAPO not INEGI as it is mentioned in the article. 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The 2009 estimations are very reliable. I specified in the article how you can download the file where the information can be found. Hope I helped! Kraft. (talk) 09:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

What's the criteria for a city's inclusion in this list? --Mareino 18:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It should be in Mexico. Planetstasiak 02:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the population numbers should be updated soon. IvanRussel 16:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

INEGI count
Are two lists really needed? Griffinofwales (talk) 23:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Please change figures
Most figures are wrong, at least the order of them is. The reference is not clear. E.gr. the complete state of Sinaloa had 2,767,761 in 2010, and only 793 730 live in the municipality of Culiacán; according to http://cuentame.inegi.org.mx/poblacion/habitantes.aspx?tema=P  and   http://cuentame.inegi.org.mx/monografias/informacion/sin/territorio/div_municipal.aspx?tema=me&e=25, opposed to the article which sais Culiacan is the second most populated city, with more than three million people (?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.249.65.105 (talk) 02:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Double entry
Manzanillo is #108 and #110 on the list. I don't think there is two cities of same name in same state. 85.217.45.223 (talk) 12:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Largest city of State of Mexico
Political divisions of Mexico and State of Mexico have Ecatepec de Morelos as the largest city of the state. However, on this list Nezahualcóyotl is #9 and Ecatepec de Morelos only #12. Which is right? 85.217.45.223 (talk) 13:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Puebla came up in a quiz I did as the fourth most populous city... it looks like it was removed from the list in November and the order wasn't updated. Don't have any other reference but is this vandalism? 59.167.126.189 (talk) 12:05, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Fixed
I was able to fix some of the data I stopped at 50 though I'll try and finish the rest — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.31.200 (talk) 08:36, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

auto-translate gone wild
in this list and in the other list of urban areas in mexico, a number of cities are autotranslated into english. someone should shut this mechanism off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slangist (talk • contribs) 03:51, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Cross-Municipal Cities
For those central settlements in the first list which cross municipal boundaries, shouldn't you simply list all of the municipalities into which they extend? In the United States, municipalities would be something similar to counties (though smaller), and on city pages and other lists of cities by population, you simply list all of the counties into which a city extends. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:29, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I object because in American English
I object because in American English (and this is an article in American English, and not in British or Continental English, or Aussie English). A "municipality" is a large city, and in English, a basic city has a population of over 50,000+ people. A city can have a larger "metropolitan area". In German, a City (capitalized like all German nouns) has a population of 100,000+ people, by definition. Places like towns, villages, and hamlets are not municipalities or metropolitan areas. In English, a "metropolis" is a HUGE metropolitan area, e.g. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Peking, Calcutta, Houston, and a "megalopolis" is even larger than that, such as Boston-Hartford-New York City-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington, or Los Angeles County-Orange County-Ventura County-San Diego County. Mexico has a lot of municipalities, but not this many. Also, the idea of one city containing more than one municipality is contradictory, and likewise, a municipality containing large rural areas is contradictory. (I get the impression that many people do not worry about writing down open contradictions.) Elsewhere in the Wikipedia, someone has used the phrase "metropolitan municipality" which is a double abomination in being both redundant and self-contradictory in most cases.24.121.195.165 (talk) 19:32, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Article's title change and content split in two pages
I've fixed and updated both tables with latest data from official sources, also addressing some of the issues posted here. Photographs still need to be updated or adapted. Should the article be called "List of Mexican cities by population" in line with similar Wikipedia pages, and the list of municipalities moved to a separate page called "List of Mexican municipalities by population"?

 * Thanks for the work you put into this. I would be OK with the move and split. I note that the CONAPO statistics are not population estimates made after the fact (e.g., based on recent birth, death and migration records), but rather population projections made into the future. Projections are less reliable than estimates (I can't remember if CONAPO even updated their projections to take the results of the 2015 Intercensal Survey into consideration) and should not be referred to as such. Cobblet (talk) 20:54, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks to you for your comments. I changed the description from estimates to projections, they indeed got updated after 2015 but you are right they are not "data-enabled" estimates. I will leave that column as a placeholder, since the 2020 Census results should be available in Jan 2020, so I can add them once published. But if it creates confusion, I'll remove it. I have scheduled the move and split for later this week, awaiting for additional feedback just in case. Cheers. Coyatoc (talk) 20:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Content is now split in two pages. I will request that this page is renamed to "List of Mexico cities by population" to match the title of the US page, and will use the current page to add the list of the 401 cities designated as such by the |National Urban System (SUN), compiled by the National Population Council (CONAPO) in 2018. Thoughts? Cheers Coyatoc (talk) 16:52, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
