With a country that has barely 2,000 people altogether, talk of a list of cities is a trifle far-fetched.:robinp 02:16, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

It might be more interesting to list the cities containing more Niue citizens than the total population of Niue. Besides is a settlement of under 2,000 people a city? Is an island with total decendent and and expatiate population of about 26,000 citzens large enough to even have a city? Surely the line has to be drawn somewhere. I vote for deletion. -- kiwiinapanic 07:20, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Some cities listed as northeast are northwest.

[edit] From vfd

Probably a joke, there are only 1500 people on thed island. ping 07:25, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I doubt it's a joke - just part of the breakdown of List of cities. Now that a few more cities have been found (I thought there was only the one), I change my vote - keep. Ambivalenthysteria 12:21, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Move to List of city in Niue? -- Cyrius 14:46, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

Delete. Unneccesary, will never have content. Warofdreams 15:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Keep. For consistency we should have a list per nation. — Sverdrup 19:41, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Also, I've added the 5 others from the CIA world factbook map. Niteowlneils 02:50, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Consistency is nice. The cities may not be large, but they are the main settlements on the island. —Bkell 03:00, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Keep - consistency is a good thing when you don't have to do something stupid to achieve it. -- Cyrius 04:50, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. But if the page does stay, it should be renamed to something like "List of communities in Niue". MK 04:56, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Maybe; are these incorporated as cities? Sometimes defined cities can be quite small. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:16, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Keep as an article, though I agree that a renaming may be in order. They are the principal settlements and deserve an article, but calling them "cities" may be misleading. pne 17:02, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Comment. I've found sites that list 17 and 21 total cities/towns for Nuie, so presumably these are the bigger ones. I also found this map with 25 named cities/towns/villages[1]. Niteowlneils 01:59, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- 25 named places, perhaps, but a number of them are more "features" (caves, points, etc.) than settlements. --pne 16:10, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I found a website that listed the largest towns in Niue and their 2004 populations.
