Someone living in a city. Could be reduced to a translation entry perhaps, but there's urbanite anyway. Equinox ◑ 19:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- COALMINE is extremely likely to apply. 70.172.194.25 01:12, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- Tempted to keep this as a translation hub, as urbanite is not particularly common in this sense. Theknightwho (talk) 01:15, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per WT:COALMINE. Binarystep (talk) 09:54, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- Is citydweller a valid spelling, though? It looks awful. 194.78.122.57 15:38, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
