Talk:List of million-plus urban agglomerations in India

message: Like the list of cities having a population more than a million, there is a need to create a list of the cities in India, having population of 500,000 or more but less than a million.
~Ab_18 Amod Bhagwat 15:20(IST), July 04, 2007.
There is a need but many cities have crossed one million mark by this year.. so there is a need to update million plus list and as well as to create a new half million to one million list Sriramsai pallapothu (talk) 16:21, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Half Million Plus Cities in India

message: Can we rename the page to List of million-plus agglomerations in India or to List of million-plus agglomerations in India by population per existing universal list at List of agglomerations by population? --Vin09 (talk) 03:45, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

message: I came to notice that you removed some cities from aforementioned page just because their UA consists of city/ municipal area only. These cities are not constituent or part of UA of any of the other cities in the list. Their identity is separate unlike those of Thane, Howrah, Navi Mumbai etc. which have population of over 1 million each but still are parts of UAs of Mumbai and Kolkata. You simply followed the weird strategy of this site, ignoring all other sources. Even Census of India has grouped them together as "Million-plus UAs/ Cities" as can be seen here and here. Ministry of Urban Development also mentions 53 million plus UAs/ cities. Check here also. Moreover, your change from "53 million plus UAs in 2011 from 35 in 2001" to "47 in 2011 from 35 in 2001" in addition to contradicting sources, is controversial also because those 35 cities with million plus population in 2001 includes "City Only" UAs like Jaipur, Visakhapatnam, Ludhiana and Faridabad which you excluded from 2011 million plus count. It is never good to disrupt a natural order. You will not find a single source documenting 47 million plus UAs (excluding "City only" UAs) in place of 53 million plus UAs (including "City only" UAs). Those "City only" UAs deserve to be in the list simply because they are discrete/ separate and have population of over one million. It doesn't make any sense to remove them.
If there is a problem in name of article, we can redirect it to "List of million-plus urban agglomerations and cities in India" and create a separate column "Type" in the table specifying "City" or "UA" rather than removing independent discrete cities (not part of UA of any other city) with million (Jaipur with over 3 million) plus population. Of course we are not including cities which are constituent of UA of other cities. This is fair because the article's focus is on "million-plus identity". But I think this "problem" is trivial and we can continue like before. Vibhss (talk) 10:39, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

text: I already used the term "City only UAs" for Jaipur, Visakhapatnam, Ludhiana etc. Basically, these "City only UAs" are discrete and independent (as I said, not a part of UA of any other city) giant urban spreads/ urban areas but are administered by a single municipality unlike those urban spreads which have two or more municipalities. But still, whether Jaipur's "urban area" has one municipality or many will matter only in India but from a global point of view, Jaipur, Vizag etc are as much independent metropolis/ independent urban area as are Surat, Pune, Lucknow, Patna etc. with similar populations. This is not the same for cities which become suburban entities of another city's UA. Thane will just be called a Mumbai suburb and not Thane metro area/ Thane urban area. Thus, the "City only UAs" should in no circumstance be equated (by excluding them from the list) with million plus cities like Thane, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Howrah etc which don't have their own UA but themselves form part of UA of other cities like Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata. This may sound repetitive to you but I just made my argument more precise. I suggested to change the name of the article as you found "City only UAs" conflicting with "Agglomerations". Well, you are rightly apprehensive for the previously suggested name by me but I have two other alternative names for this article:
* List of million-plus urban entities in India; as I said earlier, a new column "Type" will be created in the table specifying whether the entity is "City only" or "UA.
* List of million-plus urban areas in India; similar new column.
This will not prevent the discrete "City only UAs" from appearing in the list, whatever may be the situation. What do you say ? Vibhss (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Hi. Vizag is a huge and distinct urban spread lying under a single municipality of GVMC and having a population of close to two million. Anyways, thanks for your feedback. So, you agree with renaming of page and creating new column "Type" specifying type of urban entity (City/ UA), right ? Vibhss (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Just try a sample on the page and let's see how it goes. I'll leave it to you. If any corrections, we'll get back here again.--Vin09 (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didn't get you. Are you saying that I should redirect the page to aforementioned name and make my other suggested changes ? Vibhss (talk) 17:43, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

""Confusion between Town U.A. and wrong edit:""
Vadodara, Kanpur: Being confused between U.A. and Town/City someone wrongly edited area and population of these two UAs. This article is based on U.A. - not on Town/City if the Town/City is a part of an U.A. but Town/City is counted only if the Town/City is not a part of any U.A .
Vadodara, Kanpur towns/cities are part of the respective UAs. So, it is wrong to write Town/City population instead of the respective U.A. in which it is situated but writing Town/City population is right for Jaipur, Faridabad, Kota, Vasai - Virar City as these are not any part of U.A.. Vadodara Town is the major part of Vadodara U.A.. So, Vadodara Town/City is not the whole Vadodara U.A.. Similarly Kanpur Town/City is not the whole Kanpur U.A.
So please don't edit U.A. area and population to write area and population of Town/City. For this reason previous edit has been edited. 
""Time of the info and wrong delete""
Area and population are during Census 2011 (Not primary) but population of Vadodara was edited to write population (approx.) of other time which is not related to the article and information source may be Vadodara Municipal Corporation website, https://vmc.gov.in  and maybe based on the same source, area was edited also and area of Vadodara U.A. during census 2011 was edited to write area of Vadodara M. Corp. which is Vadodara town but not Vadodara U.A.. it has been edited again to match with the topic of the article.
If you still want to write additional info, you may write it additionally without deleting the original data related to the topic. Poorva12303 (talk) 11:33, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don't be confused between Town and U.A.. Article is of census 2011 - don't edit with other data 

message: @Garimellarohitkumar97
Someone may be confused between area and population of Kolkata U.A. as per Census 2011 (Not primary) and area and population of KMA under KMDA. First one is available on census website and 2nd one is available with map on KMDA website 
TOWNS AND URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS CLASSIFIED BY POPULATION SIZE CLASS IN 2011 WITH VARIATION SINCE 1901 - Class I https://censusindia.gov.in/nada/index.php/catalog/42876
https://kmda.wb.gov.in/ .
But this topic is based on first one and someone has wrongly edited it and so it has been edited again. Poorva12303 (talk) 11:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
