1801-1803 figures[edit]

A user without any explanations removes the double sourced figures as he/she believes there wasn't a census in that period. Clear WP:OR. Rast5 (talk) 18:49, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, the cited source does not state anywhere that a "census" took place, which is exactly what one would expect considering that Georgia was just being annexed in 1801 and in times of upheaval and revolts I doubt there was census of any kind. The first census occurred in the late 1900s, which is shown on the comprehensive chart in the demographics section.--Andriabenia (talk) 20:11, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At first, it is not a source, but sources (I cited two, I can cite more). Then, during the annexion Russian tzar made a census and collected other statistics, you can read the same book of Vladikin to ensure. And the word of 'census' is not so critical here (even the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary mentions Armenian majority in Tiflis as an obvious fact [1]). There is a sourced information on anti-Armenian demographic policies in Tiflis, and you're trying to remove it. Rast5 (talk) 04:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
