Talk:List of largest cities in the western United States

Why?
I read this article. Although it states that LA is the largest city in the western US, it doesn't give its population. Nor does it give any sort of ranking of the rest; nor does it give any reference for any of it. It is very hard to read. I really don't see the purpose of this article. See List of Midwestern cities by size for an example of what you may want to make this look like. Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Additional--one of the cities on the list, El Paso, isn't even in the west according to the map illustration in the article. I cleaned up the layout, but I really don't see any way to save this article.  Who decided that map was the definition of "The West"?  Where are San Diego and San Jose, California, both in the top ten in the country?  What stats are the article based on? What year? If you look back to the original article in 2010, it was actually much better.  But even it had the definition of the region problem, which is probably insurmountable.  Is there some accepted definition of "The West"?  I don't know and honestly don't have a clue as to how to find out. Gtwfan52 (talk) 05:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
