Anon user had added this line : "siliguri also has a new stadium called the indoor stadium near desbandhupara. minor indoor games, including tennis and table tennis tournaments are held here." It conflicts with the statement in Sports section which says there is only 1 stadium in the town. Is it the same stadium ? Jay 11:43, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Is it sensible to list all available media? I think only newspapers etc. that actually are from Siliguri should be mentioned. Otherwise every other city article should list available media, too... -- 117.201.119.150 ( talk) 09:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Figures mentioning population numbers do not correspond to western guidelines:Introduction, line 6, in article:" (...) 7,01,489 (Not at all 19,01,489. Please check)..." Infobox: Population 5,09,709. Demographics (section) "population of 5,01,489 9Not 19,01,489" and (same section) "Tibeten languages are spoken".- Bornsommer ( talk) 01:14, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
This being an English-language article, figures/numbers should/must comply with how figures/numbers are written in the English language. Bornsommer ( talk) 22:42, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Under Climate section of the page, it is mentioned there was an earthquake in 1988 with a magnitude of 9.7, which is a mistake. The largest earthquake in recorded history is of magnitude 9.5 in Chile /info/en/?search=Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_earthquakes_by_magnitude, so this cannot possibly be 9.7. The earthquake this article is referring to could be this one /info/en/?search=1988_Nepal_earthquake. If someone can confirm this and make changes accordingly, it would be great. Also, I think it should be mentioned under Geography rather than Climate. Cx3z ( talk) 16:50, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

NIIT Siliguri Centre is the most trusted Computer Training Centre in Siliguri. NIIT Siliguri was the first Institute to introduce computers in North Bengal 30 years ago. Arkedia.rahul ( talk) 07:23, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Most of the photos on Siliguri page look garish as they seem to be overprocessed with excessive contrast and colour saturation. I think they should be replaced by photos that reflect reality better. I live in Siliguri and can vouch for the fact that the actual environment isn't as 'colourful' as depicted in the photos :) FaramRK ( talk) 13:31, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Please add sources to the History section for the various claims being made. Also, this section reads more like a tourist or local administration advertisement/brochure rather than a fact based article. There are also grammatical errors which render some sentences quite incomprehensible. FaramRK ( talk) 13:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
I don't think we should list every single school in Siliguri. It seems half the Siliguri page is nothing but a listing of educational institutions. Only the most prominent institutions which have something special about them should be mentioned. It's Wikipedia, not a Siliguri municipal corporation list of educational institutions :) FaramRK ( talk) 13:53, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

From 1835 Siliguri started growing rapidly as a small city due to its importance in trading. AnindyaMoi ( talk) 16:51, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Too much confusion regarding population. Each and every city has greater 'metro' population than 'UA/Metropolitan city' population. As 'metro area' is always greater than 'UA area'. According to this UA/metropolitan city population should be 513,264 and metro population should be 701,489 for Siliguri. Take a look into this issue @ Fylindfotberserk:.
