Missing Info
Unlike most city articles this one is completely missing information about the climate
76.172.244.110 ( talk) 09:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)gEM
Unlabled Question
Who were the other prominent students at the university?
The tourism website has lots of creepy 'mail order bride' advertisements all over it.
The names of towns in this article violate Wikipedia:Naming_conventions, specifically Yar Çallı, Älmät, Bögelmä and Çístay.
(exclude Kazan). So Tatar naming is also useful in English. Russian naming is not origin - it is only transliteration of transliteration from Tatar to Russian.
I have tidied up the text somewhat including some of the seeming POV statemsnts - but do not know about the names.

Many of User:TY-214's edits are good improvements, but this edit seems to have removed some potentially useful info about companies. Any opinions? Offliner ( talk) 18:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't know why but can't normally put refs about square, foundation date etc in the Infobox. This is a reliable official source. TY-214 ( talk) 23:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

That section needs to be cleaned up, definitely. Some citations would be nice. What is said there about there being no Tatar-as-medium-of-instruction schools in Kazan is almost certainly not true -- while there weren't any in 1989, now there are most certainly quite a few. "The main building of the university" also makes no sense -- Kazan has over a dozen universities, and so it's not clear which one is being referred to. "The" implies that there is only one university, which is also far from true. It's also not terribly clear which building would be "main" anyway, especially after the recent bout of university mergers in Kazan. Also, very few university courses are taught in Tatar (i.e. with Tatar as the medium of instruction). It is extremely unlikely that any building of any university would hold classes primarily in Tatar. God, what a mess. I'm deleting the whole last half of the section.
What is missing from the city timeline? Please add relevant content. Thank you. -- M2545 ( talk) 11:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
For today Alexey Pesochin is not the head of Executive committee of Kazan. Denis Kalinkin is. To prove in you can see http://old.kzn.ru/page21569.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.255.195.56 ( talk) 12:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Kazan confidently occupies third place among Russian cities with the best quality of life, according to the Russian Government’s Financial University. The city occupies fourth position in investments in the country, and an authoritative international sports ranking included Kazan in the top 30 cities in terms of sports facilities and the number of hosted major sporting events. According to RBC and the newspaper "Kommersant," the city is in the top 20 best and fastest growing cities in Russia.
In 2014, the international "Fitch Ratings" agency raised the credit rating of Kazan from "B +" to "BB-," confirming it in January 2015 with a positive outlook.
In terms of investing in residential real estate, Kazan takes second place among the most promising cities in Russia and is recognized as one of the most attractive destinations for tourism in Russia.

Unlike in most Western cities, public bus routes are not municipal, operated by private companies and therefore are very efficient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balbip01 ( talk • contribs) 21:03, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
lmao. The idea that private companies are somehow inherently more efficient than government-operated services is utterly laughable. Plus, it's entirely your opinion - it's hilariously hypocritical that you would title this section "pure conjecture rather than fact", when everything you've stated is completely subjective. 1.157.95.133 ( talk) 01:17, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

There are way too many pictures in this article, and some of them are completely irrelevant. For example, why do we need a photo of two random women? They might not even be from Kazan, so what, exactly, do they have to do with anything? 1.157.95.133 ( talk) 01:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
{{ Infobox Russian inhabited locality}} takes some parameters that are overridden if the wikidata for the article doesn't (or does?) have data for the population. A recent change to that template by @ Zackmann08: ends up invoking all of the parameters while testing them for presence to diagnose undefined parameter rules, so the article was generating undefined reference errors for references that weren't actually inserted into the article. As it stands, the population estimate from 2020 isn't used because the templatae overrides it with the 2018 wikidata, anyway. I've commented out the parameters until this issue can be straightened out. -- Mikeblas ( talk) 23:00, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
