Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World's largest municipalities by population
Unless someone has reading comprehension issues, it will quickly become evident that the list is not the same. Use the sort button. If the list would be identical,it would not be there in the first place. Whether the rest of the information is unneeded is in the eye of the beholder. To judge it requires a basic understanding of demography. The article tries to impart some of that arcane knowledge, but obviously, it fails. The core issue remains: '''There already has been a consensus to merge the lists, and neither article must be deleted until that consensus has been implemented.''' And you are right, once a discussion degenerates to "rotting, stinking hot garbage," it is better to end it.  Taking part in an AFD discussion is akin to sitting on a jury. It comes with a responsibility, and it requires the proper decorum. Nominators should familiarize themselves with rticles for deletion before nominating. Editors who want to take part in the discussion should refer to rticles_for_deletion#How_to_discuss_an_AfD |the rules of engagement beforehand. Uncivilized comments have no place in this discussion
