List of Nigerian states by population density

The entries are either not backed by reliable sources, or the sources provided do not support the content. These concerns were registered on the article's talkpage weeks ago, but the creator ignored it. I think it is safe to assume that this page is a deliberate hoax.

 * Delete or merge into List of Nigerian states by population. I wouldn't call it a hoax but it's certainly poorly sourced, full of errors and likely the product of original research. It uses an "estimated" population based on an assumed 3.3% per year growth. No documentation as to where this came from. For me, this just highlights the difficulty of maintaining large, complex, statistical tables in Wikipedia. It's too easy to make a mistake and difficult to identify and correct. Also susceptible to vandalism and very difficult to track and fix.Glendoremus (talk) 04:47, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:RS, reads like WP:OR. Possibly a hoax. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:21, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is not even wrong because it violates a basic rule of science: too many assumptions, one on top of another, running around in circles. Bearian (talk) 12:48, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge Original research with nonfactual information. Better delete it or merge into List of Nigerian states by population density--Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 16:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
