Deletion of List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population

Comment: This appears to be based on a classification by the Office for National Statistics, according to its lead.  If so, it will be based on a definition system devised by them.  If that were not the case, I would regard the question of settlement boundaires as depending on the compiler's POV, which would make it , and would need to be deleted.  However, if it is not based on an ONS survey (as others have suggested, deletion would be the only option

Comment: to List of urban areas in the United Kingdom. The way that this list is created is riginal research|original research. Note that the http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/statistics/theme/population/estimates/special-area/settlements-localities/mid-2008/background-info.html source for Scotland uses the word "settlement" to mean "urban area", and it uses quotes around "settlement" and "locality" because the General Register Office realises that they are using them as jargon words that need to be explained.  Personally, I think that there is no point in having rankings based on arbitrary subdivisions of urban areas, so I would delete the "lists of localities" as well
