  • Symbol question.svg · Article size and expansion is fine, and the article is appropriately referenced. Hook is neutral and interesting enough. The merge in 1951 has inline citation, and is verified in online reference. The "two very unequal-sized communities" part of the hook seems unclear to me. "Size" is ambigious (area or population?), and while the area of Amorebieta and Etxano is not mentioned at all, the difference in population seems to be based on the 2014 census (which is cited, but the linked url returned only emptiness), not at the time of the merge. Spot checks did not reveal close paraphrasing. QPQ done. Oceanh (talk) 12:13, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Template:Reply to The figures can be got from the INE database (ref 4) by putting the required location into the search box. The 2014 figures are way over to the right on my screen. The hook is not very exciting, but I guess the town is largely a dormitory town for Bilbao. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:57, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that the municipality of Amorebieta-Etxano was formed in 1951 by the merger of two communities, one of which had nearly 17,000 inhabitants by 2014 while the other had just 221?
