	Papua (Indonesian province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Papua is a province of Indonesia comprising part of the western half of the island of New Guinea and nearby islands (see also Western New Guinea).
		The province was known as West Irian or Irian Barat from 1969 to 1973—Irian is the Indonesian term for the island of New Guinea.
		The population of Papua province and the neighboring West Irian Jaya, both of which are still under a united administration, totalled 2,646,489 in 2005.

	Talk:Papua (Indonesian province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Furthermore, given the new existence of the new province of Papua (or Irian Jaya) Barat, that is to say, "West Papua", which is not the same as the province under discussion, this term is ambiguous.
		Furthermore, Indonesia calls that province "Papua," not "West Papua," and it is recognized to be an Indonesian province by other countries (the World Factbook, for instance, which is of course not an authoritative source, but an example of western opinion, lists Papua as one of 27 Indonesian provinces).
		Papua is a province because Indonesia says it is. There is nothing in the definition of a "province" that implies that there is self-government.
