@Darknipples: The disputed text is A striking modern example of malapportionment is the U.S. senate, where states receive equal representation despite widely varying populations. By this logic, the UN General Assembly would seem to be malapportioned. India and Nauru get the same number of votes. I do not understand this sort of complaint. But since you found one RS that uses 'malapportionment', I've left it in (although whether it is relevant here is another matter). Srnec (talk) 20:46, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the discussion. The UN may or may not be considered malapportioned by some standards, but I do not believe it is a complaint or criticism, rather, it is a notable example that seems to have consensus among RS including academia. I'm confused as to why the Guardian source was removed. I checked Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Why do you consider it unreliable or otherwise not worthy of inclusion here? Cheers.
