==== Step 1. Check which population claims have enough information to be considered====
As a minimum they are required to have:
# A ''point in time'' qualifier date (this helps to choose the most recent population figures).
# An ''applies to part'' qualifier value (this states which ABS geography type the population is for and helps choose the most appropriate geographic area for the place article).
# A ''determination method'' qualifier item (this specifies if it is a census population figure or a non-census population estimate and helps define the reference components).
# Some reference information (it is a requirement to have something with which to build a reference but more than the minimum is recommended - see the Population data in Wikidata section).
     
After filtering for these requirements a subset of population claims is carried forward.
