List of cities proper by population density

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This list is actually very incomplete since August 2017. Above from the topic, the capital city of the Philippines, Manila, is actually on the list. Other cities such as Kotsiubynske in Ukraine is listed. Athens is actually is not on this list, as the capital city of Greece. Heraldrist (talk) 05:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sold on the list topic, but is the current deletion rationale that the list is missing info and/or outdated? That seems an argument for updating, not deleting. CMD (talk) 06:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. This the List of cities by population density, which moved to List of cities proper by population density on 7 March 2020‎. The move apparently went unchallenged, so now WP has no list of densest cities other than that with the qualifier proper. As CMD pointed out, that the list is out of date is an argument for updating, not deleting it. Worthy of note is that the list of largest cities also shows population density; though the two lists can't be merged, for their inclusion criteria is not the same, the list of densest cities could—and perhaps !—be updated from the same sources as the list of largest cities. — Guarapiranga ☎ 05:21, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to note that, while says, many of the sources are dated as recently as 2020, and some even 2022. — Guarapiranga ☎ 05:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The 2nd noteworthy observation, and Twinkle should really automatically include this in XfD's, are the, that would be orphaned by its deletion:

 * Keep. "incomplete" is not a reason to delete an article. You are very welcomed to improve the article and make it complete. Bluesatellite (talk) 05:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep it, please. And as for updating, I would recommend to see an additional list on megalopolises (or at least "mega"-"polices" with 1 mil residents). Because French 50'000-something cities seem to be a part of a major "agglomeration" and enjoy its neighbors' infrastructure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.89.66.133 (talk) 08:55, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, all it needs is some tender love and care and it will become a better article.PrisonerB (talk) 08:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
