- Delete. I am not sure what the purpose of this page is. Nothing happened in this town, and it doesn't exist anymore. It looks to me like this was just an opportunity for someone to look for a pen-pal.
- Keep. Ghost towns are cool, the article is decently written and not at all overwritten, and the description of its rise and decline makes it useful for anyone interested in the United States during that period. Now, if we have dozen and dozens of Ghost Towns, I might feel differently (if we do, tell me). Yes, the woman's address at the end needs to go (I'd suggest it's inoffensive and just possibly useful if it goes to the associated Talk page). -- orthogonal 21:58, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. The article is definitely encyclopedic, though it could use a little re-writing. The personal ad at the end needs to be removed, but keep the article. Kevyn 22:16, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- I moved it to the Talk page. Dpbsmith 02:09, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Ghost towns rule. I agree that the personal blurb at the end should go, but this is fine otherwise. - Lucky 6.9 22:28, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Perfectly good article. Given that we have a plethora of Rambot articles on all sorts of not-very-notable towns, there's no reason we shouldn't have articles on ghost towns as well. This one is well-written, interesting, and contains a fair number of specific factual details. Now if only the author would add a photograph... Dpbsmith 02:09, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Apart from the last paragraph (at time of writing), it's a fine article. Keep. Average Earthman 11:56, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Like most ghost towns maps.yahoo.com can still find it. Of course, I may be biased as I have recently added articles about two near ghost towns, Seabeck, Washington and Coloma, California (although both were to fill red-links in other articles I was working on, unlike Achilles, it appears--thanks for making it less of an orphaning Michael ).
