Weak support for this article in references

edit

I can't really find much in the references given to support the notion that there is a recognised 'Coventry/Bedworth urban area'. The Labour market profile [1] says it is for Coventry, and gives a map which clearly excludes Bedworth. And the second reference [2] shows a map which does give some support for the idea of a recognised Coventry/Bedworth urban area, but it is from an archived source which gives no other context. I'm not sure as it stands that there is enough in the references to support the existence of this article as it stands. Unless there are some more up to date ones I haven't found.

EDIT: Actually I have found another more up-to-date ref which supports it at citypopulation [3] So I may edit it with the updated information. G-13114 (talk) 17:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I Wouldnt consider Citypopulation.de a reliable source. The coventry/bedworth area definitely exists but im not sure its really notable enough for its own article, its just coventry plus one small town that exists outside its official boundaries because of the quirks of local adminstrative history.

Just looking at the stats that estimate population looks suspiciously high. It would imply that Coventry's population has grown by 60,000 in 9 years, an almost 20% increase. Eopsid (talk) 20:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
