The data presented there is fake, not matching the INEGI and the reference link is CONAPO not INEGI as it is mentioned in the article. 13 December 2009 (UTC)
What's the criteria for a city's inclusion in this list? --Mareino 18:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It should be in Mexico. Planetstasiak 02:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the population numbers should be updated soon. IvanRussel 16:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Are two lists really needed? Griffinofwales (talk) 23:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Most figures are wrong, at least the order of them is. The reference is not clear. E.gr. the complete state of Sinaloa had 2,767,761 in 2010, and only 793 730 live in the municipality of Culiacán; according to http://cuentame.inegi.org.mx/poblacion/habitantes.aspx?tema=P and http://cuentame.inegi.org.mx/monografias/informacion/sin/territorio/div_municipal.aspx?tema=me&e=25 , opposed to the article which sais Culiacan is the second most populated city, with more than three million people (?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.249.65.105 (talk) 02:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Manzanillo is #108 and #110 on the list. I don't think there is two cities of same name in same state. 85.217.45.223 (talk) 12:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Political divisions of Mexico and State of Mexico have Ecatepec de Morelos as the largest city of the state. However, on this list Nezahualcóyotl is #9 and Ecatepec de Morelos only #12. Which is right? 85.217.45.223 (talk) 13:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Puebla came up in a quiz I did as the fourth most populous city... it looks like it was removed from the list in November and the order wasn't updated. Don't have any other reference but is this vandalism?

I was able to fix some of the data I stopped at 50 though I'll try and finish the rest — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.31.200 (talk) 08:36, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

in this list and in the other list of urban areas in mexico, a number of cities are autotranslated into english. someone should shut this mechanism off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slangist (talk • contribs) 03:51, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For those central settlements in the first list which cross municipal boundaries, shouldn't you simply list all of the municipalities into which they extend? In the United States, municipalities would be something similar to counties (though smaller), and on city pages and other lists of cities by population, you simply list all of the counties into which a city extends. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:29, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I object because in American English (and this is an article in American English, and not in British or Continental English, or Aussie English).
A "municipality" is a large city, and in English, a basic city has a population of over 50,000+ people. A city can have a larger "metropolitan area". In German, a City (capitalized like all German nouns) has a population of 100,000+ people, by definition.
Places like towns, villages, and hamlets are not municipalities or metropolitan areas.
In English, a "metropolis" is a HUGE metropolitan area, e.g. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Peking, Calcutta, Houston, and a "megalopolis" is even larger than that, such as Boston-Hartford-New York City-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington, or Los Angeles County-Orange County-Ventura County-San Diego County.
Mexico has a lot of municipalities, but not this many. Also, the idea of one city containing more than one municipality is contradictory, and likewise, a municipality containing large rural areas is contradictory. (I get the impression that many people do not worry about writing down open contradictions.)
Elsewhere in the Wikipedia, someone has used the phrase "metropolitan municipality" which is a double abomination in being both redundant and self-contradictory in most cases.24.121.195.165 (talk) 19:32, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed and updated both tables with latest data from official sources, also addressing some of the issues posted here.
Photographs still need to be updated or adapted.
Should the article be called "List of Mexican cities by population" in line with similar Wikipedia pages, and the list of municipalities moved to a separate page called "List of Mexican municipalities by population"?
