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 (talk ⋅dgaf) 17:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
