Sourced by unreliable material and he makes an original research with primary sources, in the source of population do not talk about metropolitan areas, and the user make a sum to his understanding, has several errors. This is an original research, It does not have enough references, and in fact there are unreliable, even one of them is a blog. only the references of some metropolitan areas are verifiable, with regard to the "population" of the same this is not verifiable, about the same article in other languages, all were created by the same IP, there seems to be making a claim that information like true or trustworthy Cmonzonc (talk) 03:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Yes, it is sourced by unreliable material. I noticed other country articles were getting these things included, so I did not mention anything about it. However, now that the sources are being challenged, it certainly is a good time to get rid of this thing. Regards.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 15:42, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As far as I can tell, most of the sources used are government planning documents and official census estimates. I agree that some of the population estimates could be better sourced--they seem to rely on newspaper accounts--but that's what editing is for. This page does need a specific cut-off point or benchmark for inclusion, though (e.g. "List of Metropolitan areas in Peru with Populations above 500,000" or something).TCSaint (talk) 16:50, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. How many recognized metropolitan areas are there in Peru? Why not make this a comprehensive list that is sortable by population, rather than having an arbitrary cut-off? postdlf (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In Perú exists only three metropolitan areas, in Perú to be an metropolitan area the urban conglomeration must have more than half a million inhabitants and count with a metropolitan development plan, the metropolitan areas not adjusts to the circunscripcion of the "distritos". A part of the population of the "distrito" can be in or can be out of the metropolitan area, the author of the article is not consider the real metropolitan area, is consider all the popoulation districts assuming that the entire population of the "distrito" is in the metropolitan area, this is bad and convert the article in an original research. According to Wikipedia is not possible make a synthesis or assumptions about census information, which is a primary source. In this case only talk about "distritos", and not exists source which says that a particular metropolitan area has a certain amount of people.--Cmonzonc (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So convert this to Metropolitan areas of Peru to explain the classification and describe the three MAs; remove everything that's not officially a metropolitan area; and create a List of distritos of Peru with a sortable population column. Would that work? postdlf (talk) 00:24, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
