Ultimately, this appears to be a WP:HOAX. Lasted for 2 years before getting PRODed (which is now expired). Evking22 (talk) 03:55, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per my endorsement of the PROD, there is no evidence this place exists. The cited reference does not even mention such a place. No trace found outside the Wikipedia article and wiki mirrors. A long-standing hoax, but still a hoax. • Gene93k (talk) 05:29, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The listed source does not support assertions in the article. The claim of population would need to be souraceable to the US census, which it is not. The mention of most people living in tents is highly suspect.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:30, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no GNIS entry, not mentioned in article's only ref (even looking at archived versions from the time of the ref's access date), and a Google search is like a directory of low-quality Wikipedia scrapers. All signs point to hoax. Antepenultimate (talk) 13:10, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As the editor who prodded this article, my reasons were stated in the prod notice. There is no evidence this place ever existed. The only reason I didn't submit it to speedy deletion as a hoax was because it had sat there for 2 1/2 years. -- Donald Albury 01:29, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
