The source from World Gazetteer doesn't really concur with the figures shown here so I've replaced it with this source and removed the unsourced contents. Thanks. --Zayeem (talk) 10:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

The "2014 estimates" seem to be made-up. Despite repeated claims that they're "sourced"noreliable source has been presented that confirms these figures. And while I changed them to what the 1998 census reports, I found that for several cities the last few digits of the "estimates" agreed with the census while the first few digits had been changed: Apparently someone just changed the significant digits to what they thought felt right and didn't bother to do something about the remaining digits. Unless and until updated figures have been reported by reliable sources, we should use the 1998 census, not such made-up "estimates". Huon (talk) 20:14, 17 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Apparently someone just changed the significant digits to what they thought felt right and didn't bother to do something about the remaining digits". This is pretty common vandalism, at least from my experience. I've wrote a small little guide for pages like this at User:Elockid/Identifying vandalism. Pakistani cities are quite a favorite to vandalize, not the common vandalism that people know like adding obscenities and such, but more of sneaky vandalism/introduction of deliberate factual errors.

Done - thanks for pointing that out - Arjayay (talk) 08:41, 15 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
The province for Bahawalpur city is shown as Balochistan which is a mistake. Bahawalpur is located in Punjab. Moiz19 (talk) 12:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Muhammad Umar, Cute177, AwaisGas, Nomi887, Fast track, Pakieditor, MarnetteD, Innocent Paki, Talha, and Catfurball: I propose to merge List of cities in Pakistan into List of cities in Pakistan by population. The article List of cities in Pakistan is mostly based off of 2012 estimates that are unsourced and a few 2017 census results that are entirely incorrect (for example in the gallery, where ranks number 15 - 18 are seemingly fabricated). Throughout much of the article, you can find data cells that are missing either the population or the rank, have mixed up ranks but correct (or incorrect) populations, or don't even apply to cities (the whole entire Azad Kashmir section doesn't show city populations, but shows district populations!) The way I see it, the only thing of value the article provides are pictures, which we can distribute throughout this list and other lists (eleven or twelve pictures have been added to this article, and there are different lists to show the largest cities in Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and KPK that can have the pictures of smaller cities). Another idea I like is to change the article's name to "Lists of cities in Pakistan" and add different lists that link to national and provincial lists (that seems to be what the article is trying to accomplish, as it provides the ten most populous cities in each subdivision of Pakistan). I have pinged all users that have contributed at least 200 characters of authorship in either article according to this tool, so we can have a discussion about the future of these articles. Please share your opinion below. -- Abbasi786786 (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
