List of largest suburbs in the world

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Anti-policy (WP:OR), list is compiled from a mish-mash of various (largely uncited) statistics, i.e. a synthesis of published material. Also, subjective / indiscriminate title. While many of these places are within the sphere of influence or metropolitan area of a larger city, it is not necessarily accurate to label them as "suburbs". Deiz talk 08:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as pretty much unverifiable. Deciding on a uniform criterion to rank cities by size was hard enough, the concept of a "suburb" is so vague that this list will never really be considered correct. ~ mazca talk 12:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep If a suburb is defined as an independent city within a metropolitan area, a list of suburbs would be worthwhile. I agree that this is poorly written (a table would be nice, as well as-- DUH -- a mention of what metro area the suburb appends to).  Looks like a delete, but no prejudice to recreating this if someone can find a source that ranks suburbs, or at least gives there population.  Mandsford (talk) 22:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The "if" invalidates the argument though - the table contains satellite cities rather than suburbs, and even that definition is subjective. Deiz talk 00:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, violation of WP:OR. What is a suburb? Oh, sorry, suburbs with only city proper populations? What about non-Asian countries? What about trying to find sources that have looked into this before and referencing them? No, this is a mess, and someone is doing WP:OR while they are messing it up.
