Population removal

[edit]

I've removed the population because it's impossible to give an exact count. What are the boundaries of Dilley? Unless it's a municipality, the only way you can have a reliable count is if it's a census-designated place, which has precise boundaries. Nyttend (talk) 15:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add I've re-add it. It is sourced to a RS, and no one said it was an exact count (thus the qualifier of approximate/estimate). Population figures are not required to come from the census. The US Census bureau is not God when it comes to population, they are just another source. Now we may use them the most, but I have yet to see a Wikipedia policy requiring their use and only their use (but we do have WP:RS). Much like we can have population estimates for areas before they became parts of the US (i.e. how many Native Americans lived where at certain times) a reliable source can be used for an estimate.
