I had initially put Pimpri-Chinchwad under Suburbs of Pune as it is a municipal corporation subordinate to Pune, but DesiBoy101 changed it to Populated places in the Pune Metropolitan Region, claiming that Pimpri-Chinchwad "it is not a suburb of Pune but a different city altogether with a separate municipal corporation." What should be the scope of the Suburbs category? Should this category include the areas beyond the core city incorporated into municipalities and corporations (i.e. Satellite cities)?

- Also, unless the city is in Australia, the "Suburbs of <city>" categories can be easily replaced with "Populated places in Greater <city>", "Populated places in the <city> Urban Area", or "Populated places in the <city> Metropolitan Area" if the metropolitan area corresponds to the respective urban area.

- Although fourteen days have not passed yet, and due to the different definitions of suburbs I found in Wikipedia, I've proposed the following category scheme:
- Suburbs — for urban settlements beyond the main city or the city center/downtown, depending on country/city.
- Satellite cities — for urban settlements beyond the main city with its own local government.
- Suburbs of X — for urban settlements beyond X or the city center/downtown of X, depending on country/city.
- Satellite cities of X — for urban settlements beyond X with its own local government.
- Metropolitan areas — for urban areas defined by governments for administrative or statistical purposes, which may or may not correspond to the actual urban agglomeration.
- Populated places in X Metropolitan Area — for populated places in the metropolitan area corresponding to the city of X, which may or may not correspond to the suburban area of X.
- Suburbs — for urban settlements beyond the main city or the city center/downtown, depending on country/city.
- For Pimpri-Chinchwad being decategorised from Suburbs of Pune, the most sensible thing to do is to redirect the category to Populated places in the Pune Metropolitan Region, which is larger than the actual urban agglomeration. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Closed without action. No apparent suggested changes to Category:Suburbs; discussion was about best subcategory placement for lower level category that seems to have been resolved. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
