Comment

I would like it if this article would take care to refer to the effects on population of the killing of some hundreds of thousands of Iraqis under the sanctions regime of 1991-2003, the killing of some 655,000 during the war from 2003 to the present, and the displacement of some 2,000,000 refugees outside of Iraq altogether and 1,700,000 inside Iraq, for a total of 3,700,000 refugees. If we assume the population now is 27,000,000, probably a maximal estimate, this would mean that some 13.7% of all Iraqis, almost one in seven, are refugees. As few of these are Kurds, the proportion among other groups is even higher. Refugees outside of Iraq should not be counted as part of the population there. 151.197.127.15 23:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Net migration rate

The article claims that the net migration rate is 0, which is actually sth what i cannot really believe. According to a radio comment, it was said, that more than 10% of the iraq population left the country after the american invasion until now. Does anyone know any qualified sources for this?.--LugPaj 14:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, I dunno who made this, only in Jordan and syria there are at least two millions now.
oh it was based on CIA fact book ................ figures
Yes -follow the BBC reports on the refugee crisis and the exodus. See the article Refugees of Iraq. Dogru144 09:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Religion statistics a mess

The figures on religion are a mess and contradictory, not only here but also in other Iraq articles. Are Shia 65% (second paragraph, on top) or 45% (table Religions) ?? Kipala (talk) 23:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they should be fixed. JasonMoore (talk) 14:58, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnic and Religious Groups a mess as well

"A report published by the European Parliamentary Research Service": To quote an article and then change the figures is a bit bold, I think. The number of Kurds e.g. is given at 8 million in the Wiki article, whereas the quoted report says 4 million. It is equally interesting how 15 million Shia Arabs and 9 million Sunni Arabs equal 20 million Arabs... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:5F4A:A011:6809:F276:DC33:F8D5 (talk) 16:39, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Iraqis

First of all, both articles seem mostly overlapping, including much of the lead section. Secondly, the claim of Iraqi ethnicity with a strong Arab element is a highly dubious policy of Baathists who were long overthrown; while most modern Iraqis do see themselves merely as Iraqi nationals of distinct ethno-sectarian origins such as Shia Arab, Sunni Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Turkomani, etc. Third, we have already merged similar articles such as Libyan people.GreyShark (dibra) 07:56, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support the merge. --Semsûrî (talk) 14:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom Ridax2020 (talk) 13:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I completely disagree, they should be kept as two pages seperatly Shaxi321 (talk) 08:09, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. This page's very existence is not NPOV. --Calthinus (talk) 00:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly disagree, it will be a really shame if another Arab country's people page is eliminated, as has also been done with many countries' people pages in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Oceania. Meanwhile the same is not done for other national people pages. So again, strongly disagree.

I disagree. Iraqi demographics and a page about the people of Iraq are completely different things. Information about a people goes beyond the demography inside a portion of land. − Allice Hunter (Inbox) 16:25, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree

These pages should be kept as two separate pagee Shaxi321 (talk) 08:09, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are a clear vandal and have been caught breaking the WP:TDE rules for some time now. You should not be editing Wikipedia pages with this kind of dishonesty. JasonMoore (talk) 14:58, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021 - Stop Vandalizing Religion Statistics

There are clear Sunni bias vandals who are changing the statistics to favour them. The information from the CIA World Factbook is the latest and its information has been updated.

I also recommend that the pie charts be removed as they add no correct information (allow only singular numbers and not a correct “64-69%” approximation). They serve only as eye candy.

Stop vandalizing this page. JasonMoore (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
