List of places in Tasmania by population[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unnecessary, problematic, difficult to manage, quickly outdated and relatively pointless list that apparently serves only to rank cities in the state by size. Discussed at WP:AWNB and the only opinions expressed suggested deletion. It was originally created as a list of cities by an editor who appears to be under the misconception that an "Urban Centre/Locality" (UC/L) is a city. However, the list is simply that of various places in the state and does not necessarily include all UC/Ls in the state. Based on examination of all three similar articles created by the same editor (List of cities in Victoria by population, List of cities in Tasmania by population and List of places in Northern Territory by population) tThe list is ~~likely~~ most definitely incomplete, missing over 80% of the UCL/s in the state. Article includes only a single generic reference. A more detailed explanation of the issues and a comparison with the other articles may be found at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#List of cities/places in <state> by population AussieLegend (talk) 18:44, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. I'm not even that familiar with Tasmania and I can see several places missing which are long-standing towns (e.g. St Helens) and for which, for whatever reason, the ABS has not created UC/Ls. List of cities in Australia by population is much better structured and organised, and isn't simply a list for list's sake. Orderinchaos 19:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Support on the basis of such lists are what the nominator says - the Tasmania project is a quiet one - you might not even get another editor to make comment here Satu Suro 15:36, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
