[edit] How in the world?

How in the world does a place with a population of two hundred people get called a "city"?! Mathmo ^Talk 08:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

"Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, USA incorporated on July 21, 2001"!

a) The designations such as City, Town, District etc are what is given by the govt [State or Central] and population is not the only criteria for that.

b) "Maharishi Vedic City" is still the name of the city even if it declared as a village sometime in the future. Just like Rhode-Island is not an independent island or a country, but its a state [that is its designation] in USA.

c) If population was the criteria, most cities would exist in Indian and China and most other 'cities' woiuld boil down to villages and communities :) !!Bheeshma 13:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

This needs further discussion--it is not a city & oes not claim to be, its the name for one of the offshoots of Maharishi University of Management. I think it's worthless as a concept but an article on this has religious implications and I think needs discussion. I am about to send it for AfD. DGG 02:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

In the AFD we've established it is recognized as a city by the state of Iowa and the US Census. --Dhartung | Talk 06:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Dhartung. I wonder why DGG was so certain it wasn't a city. TimidGuy 13:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change redirect so that "Maharishi Vedic City" is main article

The city officially changed its name soon after incorporating, so it seems like the main article should be Maharishi Vedic City, and Vedic City should redirect to that, rather than vice versa, as it is now. I think it's just a matter of copying all the content to Maharishi Vedic City, then removing the redirect, then adding a redirect to Vedic City, right? TimidGuy 18:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
