Statistics @ BWNS

We might want to incorporate some of the information on this page into this article. Dragfyre (talk) 18:31, 13 January 2020 (PST)

Incorporate scholarly statistical work

Note to self (and others): This article should link to some scholarly works that incorporate statistics about Bahá'í demographics and growth, such as some of Graham Hassall's work on the establishment of the Faith in various parts of the world. Dragfyre (talk) 17:48, 19 January 2020 (PST)

Weird... all the links on that page are dead. I wonder if they scrapped the launch due to the pandemic. Dragfyre (talk) 17:39, 25 November 2020 (PST)

Never mind, I just noticed they have a link here, and an online version of the text here, w00t. Dragfyre (talk) 17:40, 25 November 2020 (PST)

Archived research by AndrewRT on en.wikipedia

I thought of incorporating the information below into Number of Bahá’ís by country, but realized that: a) it seems like it would be difficult to verify, especially for the private correspondence; and b) it's too dated, since that article is focusing on numbers for the period 2000–2010. Still interesting, though, so I thought I might save it here. Dragfyre (talk) 00:37, 20 December 2021 (PST)

As promised here is an extract from the (now dated) research I did back in NOvember 1996 on distribution of Baha'is around the world:

• 1. India 2,262,126 (1996, private correspondance with NSA)
• 2. Philippines 350,785 (1995, private correspondence with NSA)
• 3. Iran 300,000 (1988, World Christian Encyclopedia based on projection from historic figures; these projections are not accruate for other countries)
• 4. Malaysia 200,000 (1995, private correspondence with NSA)
• 5. United States 130,000 (1988, Europa Year Book based on projections)
• 6. Bolivia 85,000 (1988, Europa Year Book based on projections)
• 7. Guyana 50,000 (private correspondence with Baha'i)
• 8. Brazil 45,211 (1996, private correspondence with NSA)
• 9. Zimbabwe 17,270 (1988, World Christian Encyclopedia projection)
• 10. Zambia 14,560 (1988, World Christian Encyclopedia projection)
• 11. Australia 12,224 (1996, NSA quoted in "Baha'i Weekly Planner")
• 12. Albania 12,000 (1996, private correspondence with NSA)

I would treat the projected figures with significant scepticism.
