City?

According to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Indian_cities#Basic_India_conventions a place needs to have more than 100,000 people to be called a city. Is this just a convention here, or is it a formal definition? If so where is it defined? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 16:23, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostInTheMachine: qualitatively, it definitely looks like {{WikiProject Indian cities}} (citing "cities and towns") is stricter than {{WikiProject Cities}} (citing "cities, towns, villages, hamlets, townships, unincorporated communities, sections of municipalities, and neighborhoods"). Quantitatively, I wouldn't put an exact # on it, but would look to other towns vs. villages/etc. to establish a ballpark with some parking lot (grey area).   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  17:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone. I invite you all to participate in the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#City related articles infoboxes to come to a common interpretation about the infobox image format for the city related articles. It would be of a great help. 456legendtalk 02:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
