List of most populous provinces in Peru

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

I think that this article is unsupportable because the implication of the topic, which is reflected in the list, is that it isn't a list of all of Peru's provinces, and the concept of the subset of those provinces that are the most populous is undefined and undefinable. There is no obvious cutoff. I think that the population data should be included in the table at Provinces of Peru, —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:46, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Retitle and keep It's a very unfortunate title. The article is about "Provinces in Peru" which seems quite legitimate. And I suggest it be moved there (leaving a redirect if someone thinks somebody will search for the information under this title). Article also needs to be expanded.

 * Delete per inclusion of any relevant information in existing Provinces of Peru article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:11, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Well, this one is a bit tricky. The article is a ranking of Peru's provinces by population (not inclusive of every province, but I suppose nothing stops someone from adding to it). As such it's useful. I would suggest retitling it (my initial instinct) to a less POV title. What does "most populous" mean? I suggest it be retitled "Provinces of Peru ranked by population". That's my final judgement... at least for now.ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:17, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Provinces of Peru. I would add a section at the bottom entitled Provinces ranked by population.  Linguist At Large  19:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Provinces of Peru or rename to List of 20 largest provinces in Peru by population. Vivaperucarajo (talk)
 * Comment I'm not sure merge is an option. The Provinces of Peru article is very long and looks good. That's why I concluded it should be kept, and kept separate.
 * Surely it would not be very hard to add one extra column to Provinces of Peru with population data and make it sortable. This article would no longer be needed and Provinces of Peru would be more useful. Suicidalhamster (talk) 21:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - name is awkward - could be renamed if people like, but that's not an AfD outcome. Wily D 13:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
