Moving most items to "List of towns" page

[edit]

The reason I've moved most items in this list away to the new List of towns in Papua New Guinea page is that they are small and generally are seen as towns rather than cities. I've referred to a few sources such as the PNG Tourism Authority website and a couple of books to verify my own impressions (I've been to most of these towns). Generally only Port Moresby and Lae would be widely agreed as being "cities"; Mount Hagen is marginal, but since the PNG TA site and a couple of other sources describe it as a "city" I'm leaving it here for now.

I've re-merged the cities list (which had only three entries) and towns list. This is similar to the combined lists for some of the other countries in Oceania (see the links in the navigation box at the bottom of the page). -- Zyxw (talk) 21:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
