City vs Urban agglomeration Mashup

Hello, I have notice a major issue with this page. For many cities, the data is heavily relied on this site Cities, Towns and Outgrowth Wards. It explicitly says that it includes outgrowth which cannot be relied upon to determine city population, because outgrowth should be excluded. For city+outgrowth we have List of urban agglomerations in Telangana. Therefore, I propose to rework on this page based on Government sources such as
1. Cities having population 1 lakh and above, Census 2011
2. Statistical Year Book 2017
Thanks in advance! Ab207 (talk) 14:06, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ab207: The urban agglomerations article is based on the list of urban agglomerations (cities + outgrowth wards), whereas this article is based on the list of cities, towns, and outgrowth wards (cities listed separately from their outgrowth wards). This seems to be exactly what’s desired; that’s why the population figures are lower here. There doesn’t seem to be an issue.

The first alternative source is only provisional data, i.e. not the official figures. The data from the second alternative source exactly matches the data already here (pages 49-54). — MarkH₂₁^talk 17:53, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@MarkH21: Thank you for a prompt response! Things are more clear now.

Recently, It seems that City limits of all major cities in Telangana are expanded. For example, official website of Khammam municipal corporation claims that fourteen villages were merged into the corporation. The merged villages include, Ballepalli, Dwamsalapuram, Edulapuram... and the total population of the city is now 305,000. Since the official Government data qualifies as a WP:RELIABLESOURCE, We should updated all the populations accordingly. Regards Ab207 (talk) 18:31, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

References

@Ab207: Yes, but only so long as those updated populations are still based on 2011 Census figures (i.e. it’s the sum of the 2011 populations of the original city + the entities it absorbed), otherwise the comparison list isn’t consistent. The entire list needs to be based on the same population survey.

The Khammam source seemed to be based on 2011 figures, but the Warangal was based on 2016/2017 population estimates. — MarkH₂₁^talk 15:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@MarkH21: I understand. I'll make sure that the source explicitly says its based on "Census 2011." Ab207 (talk) 15:34, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@MarkH21: I have updated Warangal population based on sources which explicitly say Census 2011. While this source About Us gives a rough figure 8.30 Lakhs, this soruce gives a detailed break up of population and an accurate figure of 830,281. Please review my edit here Ab207 (talk) 16:10, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

That source says that the district population is 830,281 but the city (municipal corporation) population is 627,449. This page isn’t for district populations. — MarkH₂₁^talk 19:27, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

As far as the second source is concerned, it merely implies that it derives the population data of villages from Census 2011 in Warangal District. The population of the said district is 3,512,576 as you can see here which is clearly way higher than the city. The original city indeed was a just "Warangal Municipal Corporation" in 2011 with 627,449. But it's limits were expanded in 2015 becoming the present entity Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation. All it does is exactly what we have discussed above (The sum of the 2011 populations of the original city + the entities it absorbed).

In any case, the first source clearly says that population of GWMC is 8.30 Lakhs which pretty much makes it clear that source indeed refers to the city and not the district.-Ab207 (talk) 20:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

But why does the second source say district population? Do you know of references that explicitly list these villages and other entities as being absorbed by Warangal in 2015? Since the second source says district, we should be extra sure. — MarkH₂₁^talk 02:59, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

The source says "2011 Census population figures in Warangal District" which isn't the same as district population as an whole. You can find the list of 42 merged villages in this document here where every single village is accounted for in no particular order.-Ab207 (talk) 03:27, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

That wording, combined with Grand Total + Population giving 830,281, suggest the district population, which we agree is wrong. Another issue though, is that there are 35 villages in one source and 42 in the 2017 source, so the total 830,281 from the 35 villages isn’t right either. — MarkH₂₁^talk 03:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Revenue Village is a term which may refer to a single village or a group of villages or single village including surrounding hamlets. You can find the definition here in "Rural and Urban areas" section. In this case, the boundary of 35 'revenue villages' is the same as 42 villages which were merged, There is no dichotomy here.-Ab207 (talk) 04:27, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

I see I see, thanks for all of the explanations. I’m more than satisfied. I think one should place a footnote explaining that Warangal absorbed villages since 2011, so this figure also represents the populations of Warangal plus the locales that were absorbed (as of 2017) per the 2011 Census. Similarly, a footnote should be placed for any other municipality whose population figure is updated in this way. — MarkH₂₁^talk 04:31, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! I agree with the footnotes part, I shall add them wherever required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ab207 (talk • contribs) 05:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Expanded scope

MarkH21, Thanks for the copy edits. As you can see the short article is expanded to include towns as well. RamuSR2212 added the figures are based on the 2011 Census, I assume. However, I mistakenly added the 2001 source. If you can please give me some time, I'll add the Census 2011 sources and cross-check the figures for any errors, if any.

Unexplained deletions and unreferenced additions

@103.228.33.134: please stop deleting referenced entries without explanation. For Siddipet's figure, see this discussion with Ab207.

Also, please add references for your additions. — MarkH₂₁^talk 19:20, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

MarkH21, Hello there. I've added refs to IP's edits except for two (Huzurnagar and Pargi) which are peculiar cases. Census classified these places as "villages" by definition in 2011, despite their considerable population. However, as of date, they are governed by urban local bodies. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:23, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
