Unreferenced (sources are mentioned but not cited anywhere) and is essentially an unnecessary spin-off of List of towns and cities in Scotland by population, using same methodology as the Settlements list (the figures differ slightly due to taking the figures from different years). De-prodded by editor who possibly didn't realise that the above article contains sections for both Localities and multi-locality Settlements, i.e urban areas.

OK probably merge with List of towns and cities in Scotland by population#Settlements, I indeed hadn't noticed that section. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting to see if there support for a Merge.

Delete, but for the purposes of consensus also support merge. This is just an incomplete, slightly outdated, and poorly referenced duplicate of the towns and cities page, so I don’t see what needs to be merged. Maybe the definition section, which consists mostly of (unreferenced) quotes? Toadspike [Talk] 07:38, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see any reason to merge this. -- asilvering (talk) 21:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
