List of cities and towns in the United Kingdom by population[edit]

This article looks just like a renamed version of an older article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population which was deleted back in 2012. This article has the exact same flaws. It's main source does not state that it is showing the population of towns and cities and the population of London is from a completely different source. Seeing as the user who created this article is Taiwanese I wonder whether that old now deleted article lingers on foreign language wikipedias and he was just translating it here.

Delete: We already have List of urban areas in the United Kingdom, which is what the article is covering and List of cities in the United Kingdom which is what the article's title suggests. Redundant article. TheMagikCow (talk) 18:01, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Redundant, as stated above. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:03, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. City population is not the same as urban area population, but since this article appears to be showing urban area populations, it isn't even doing what the title states. --Michig (talk) 10:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Michig: We also have List of cities in the United Kingdom, which further makes the article redundant. TheMagikCow (talk) 20:31, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as this is redundant for reasons outlined above by other contributors.Dunarc (talk) 14:15, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
