If cities that are not in Europe such as Yerevan and Tbilisi are included into this list then how come Turkish cities like Ankara that have a population of over 5 million aren't included? 88.243.132.62 (talk) 00:03, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Just use this map. Makes everything easier. That map should be used in all Europe/Asia border clash type of articles actually. Youprayteas (t • c) 11:58, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
It has come to my attention that this list is fairy skewed. Paris is much larger than stated for example, but the figure given is for the city proper.
It seems to be lost however that London can also be calculated comparatively. London city proper was changed in 1889 from the city of London to the county of London. This area is now known as inner London and has a population of 3,404,300 (see the Wikipedia page on Inner London). It is this value that should appear on this list, not the Greater London figure of 8.7 million nor the urban area figure of nine-point-something million. TMcB23 (talk) 23:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
how is that that is instambul biggest europian citty when turkey is not european countire? 109.43.114.120 (talk) 10:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Okay. So this is literally double standards. If Tblisi and Yerevan are included, then Baku should be too. If Baku is not to be included, then the other 2 should be removed. I. understand all the discussion behind this but at this current state Baku should be included or all caucasusian cities should be removed. Youprayteas talk/contribs 18:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
