Greater Edenvale

What do we mean when we say "Greater Edenvale"? I see we chose to write there that it has a population of 70000, which is a bigger number than the population stated in the Infobox. Did we include suburbs from neighbouring towns, maybe, in getting to that 70000 number? I see that we decided to state a few "suburbs" in the same sentence which has got "Greater Edenvale" mentioned, probably to mention that it is the current Edenvale (with a 49292 population) plus those suburbs.

Well, some days back, Modderfontein was removed from that sentence simply because it is not a part of Ekurhuleni (it is a part of Johannesburg) and therefore cannot be part of Edenvale. Now, I have removed Croydon from that sentence simply because it is a confirmed suburb of the neighbouring city of Kempton Park, which means it is not part of Edenvale.

So, three suburbs are now left in that "Greater Edenvale" sentence, namely Highway Gardens, Harmelia and Buurendal. I went to the citation that we are using in the infobox (census2011) to search for them and according to that website, they are declared as part of Germiston, even though they are north of the R24 Albertina Sisulu Freeway.

Now that "Modderfontein" and "Croydon" have been removed from that sentence, does that "70000" figure still apply? Since that census2011 citation website has those 3 remaining suburbs listed under "Germiston", I suggest we do not treat them like they are a part of Edenvale. Their statistics belong on the Germiston page. So, I propose to simply remove that "Greater Edenvale" sentence from the introduction. Thanks.
