You should do your homework before making edits, especially when you're wrong. In addition, your condescending attitude is extremely unattractive. Yes, a populated place can cease to exist, when the United States Board on

intend to move the content relating to Upper Falls from here to that new article. At that time, this article will need to be changed to reflect the demotion of
Tornado from the status of a CDP to one of a populated place.

There's a difference between the CDP and the populated place: the only way that it can have ceased to exist is if all the people moved away, and even then it would be a ghost town.
