The scope of the area referred to as "Irian Jaya" is confused. It seems historically to refer to the entire 'half' island that belongs to Indonesia. But the opening paragraph of this article conflates Papua Province and Irian Jaya, then says West Papua was split off. That might suggest Irian Jaya meant only what is now Papua Province, whereas I think Irian Jaya was the name for the entire Indonesian part of the island of New Guinea.

Irian jaya was the name of the province of papua Until the people wants a name change to papua, thus papua province was born. Then people of west papua became its own province.
Irian jaya was a former of papua province. As the indonesian side of papua used to be one province. No one uses the name irian jaya these days, reminicent of the old dictatoral soeharto days. Kaliper1 ( talk) 04:17, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Updated Statistics published in 2021 are available at [1]. Require an editor who can read or translate Indonesian to update to article. Aeonx ( talk) 12:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
Edit: Any use of Indonesian statistics regarding any part of "West Papua" (both provinces) should be treated with caution, see https://apjjf.org/2017/02/Elmslie.html Jasonbrown1965 ( talk) 13:21, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed the article size may be getting too large as per WP:SIZERULE of thumb. The current prose size is 101kb; may need to consider WP:SPLIT if the article size continues to grow.

Clearly a restructure of this article will be needed now that Indonesia has split Papua province into four separate provinces: Papua, Central Papua, South Papua, Central Mountain Papua (many references in the media including this). I've done a map of the new provinces. Wantok ( toktok) 03:33, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
