certainly never be more than microstubs with infoboxes and templates. I think that the burden here is with finding more sources than a database entry that these places are notable. Currently inhabited or not, I don't think that most of the new additions are or ever have been notable (I've passed by many of these places, and yup, most are piles of rubble; a few have what

In fact, I would be happy to create such a list article for Mono County, and help maintain it: I think it would add nicely to WP's coverage to the county. I hope that Carlossuarez46 also agrees to this? —

mistrust the Cfd/Vfd/Tfd process, and don't think that it is a reflection of general opinion amongst WP editors.. It's like party primaries --- the extremists tend to dominate and drive out the people with moderate opinion. Look: it happened to you (you gave up), and it's happened to me (I agree with

That's a little presumptuous without any facts or evidence. Also, given that

If you have a reliable source that any of these places have slipped from inhabited ones to former ones, feel free to move them - few people think that finding what one thinks is an inaccuracy in a page gives one the right to delete all sorts of things that you have no reliable sources to revert.

you about the bloated navboxes, but I have 0 desire to fight the voting bloc in vfd, so I don't even bother reading ). It's a shame that you and I agree on the principle of "no large navboxes", but we're disagreeing on this particular issue!

The other nice feature of having a single list of locales (i.e., places that may or may not be populated) is that this template gets substantially cleaned up. It would have a single link to the list article (e.g.,

It's true that we don't have click-thru data for WP, that's a pity. So, all we have left is intuition --- my intuition says that there isn't a burning need for direct navigation between our sleepy little

I think the bigger issue here is whether or not we want articles about everything with a place name but with no firm population numbers and/or other info about them (that is, no significant coverage per

Here's a proposal: there's probably 3-5 editors who actively edit Mono County articles. If they like the navbox, we can leave it in, but if they dislike it, we take it out. Does that sound OK with you?

Knowledge articles on each unincorporated community in Mono County. So its' probably better to create it now with all of the other CA county navigation boxes.

Also: given that WP should be editable for decades, why not wait until Wal-Mart invades, then we add the navbox? (If that happens, I probably wouldn't care any more :-) :-) )
