Talk:Gush Dan

Title of article should be "Gush Dan"

It is simply not acceptable to use the term "Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area" as a general name to refer to what Israelis call "the Center" or "Gush Dan". This is not a term that is regularly used, and there is no agreement or binding definition as to what it would include anyway; many residents of Netanya, Ashdod, Kfar Saba, etc. absolutely do not consider their cities to be suburbs of Tel Aviv. Pointedly, the Hebrew language (and most other language) versions of this article are entitled "Gush Dan". The link you provided, from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics does not use the term "Metropolitan Area of Tel Aviv" as a catch phrase as is implied in your article. Rather, it is used as a generic term, as population data here is tabulated BY metropolitan area. It does not in any way mean that there is an officially recognized term by that name. By contrast, the following website from the Israeli Ministry of Tourism (a government website) explicitly uses the term Gush Dan. http://goisrael.com/Tourism_Eng/Tourist%20Information/Discover%20Israel/Geographic%20Regions/Pages/The%20Dan%20Region.aspx?wbc_purpose=Basicitemsitemsitemsitemsitems It is important to stress that this is a general name for a region. It is not a political subdivision and does not have official boundaries. However, for this region, the term "Gush Dan" is far more accepted and common than "Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area". The latter name should still be included in the article content, but as a secondary name. Please change the title of the article accordingly. 11:29, 3 May 2016 (UTC)JD

Could someone please help regarding the title change? Thanks. 37.26.147.142 (talk) 11:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)JD

This is simply not true. More and more people in Israel talk about Meṭroṗolin Tell ʔabib, not only among professionals. I think the problem is different, Guš Dann usually refers to the urban area which is smaller than what is considered today the whole metropolitan area from Ntanya to Qiryat Malˀaki by the CBS. 87.69.165.26 (talk) 11:01, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

The area is called Gush Dan formally, sometimes referred to as Tel Aviv Metropolitan area, divided into different rings. Avaya1 (talk) 22:30, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Population

Hi

How did you all arrive at the population of 4,054,570??? If we do go by the most extreme defintion, Tel Aviv District + ALL OF Central District (including localities like Kafr Qasim, Modiin, and Gedera) + Ashdod, it comes to Approx 3,750,000. Not 4 million. Nima Farid (talk) 08:51, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

according to the official statistics: https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/doclib/2020/2.shnatonpopulation/st02_25.pdf, 4.052 million. Shaulliv(talk) 16:27, 24 January 2021 UTC
