List of towns in Wales by population

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

My prod was contested so I am bringing here. I successfully prod'd a list of Metropolitan areas in Arizona as nn and prod'd this on the same day for the same reason. There is no reason that this info can't be incorporated into an article on Wales, which I believe it already is, and then deleted. It doesn't deserve a stand alone article. It is simply taking up space on the server that can be used by a more deserving article. Postcard Cathy 16:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * This appears to be disruption to make a point. This isn't the place to discuss problems your having at the article space. You don't really seem to want the information deleted, just re-integrated into the article. And the space issue is a straw dog. It takes up the same space no matter where it is located. Also, a list has its own rules, they aren't considered articles. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a waste of resources. Call it a disruption or not.  Call it a list or an article or a list that is an article.   The point is still the same.  It isn't necessary.  Other articles/lists of the same type have been deleted.  It is redundant.  Postcard Cathy

 * Keep or rename Keep if "towns" has a meaning versus "cities" or something else, otherwise rename to List of cities and towns in Wales by population. Seems a valid encyclopedic or almanac type data to have at hand, and if the list is too large for inclusion at Wales, have it here.
 * Delete C'mon, it's a list of eight cities and their populations at the last census, whenever that was. Worthless.  Mandsford 03:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Basic, standard encyclopedic information. I'm staggered to see it here. Casperonline 18:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Expand and Keep A list of towns/cities of countries by population is valuable and within the scope of an encyclopaedia. I stumbled on this AfD whilst looking for such a list for Wales. It badly needs to be lengthened to include all towns above, say 10 000 population and updated with current estimates though. See List of cities in Germany with more than 100,000 inhabitants, List of towns in the Republic of Ireland by population, List of cities in Sweden by population, List of continuously built-up areas in Norway by population.

 * Keep or rename; see Carlossuarez46 above. ---The user formerly known as JackLumber 21:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
