No, no, no, no.

In the list:

service level, administrative level, history, tourism, local concerns, 
population

population is actually the least important factor to determine the importance 
of a place.

And as everybody else participating in this thread has already told you. Place 
is about something determined by several factors. If you want to put data 
related to a single factor into OSM call it what it is: population.
