- Keep. A real place, according to Kiribati's 2010 Census, but with zero population. Perhaps it should be listed as a former settlement, but remember that there are lots of ghost towns in the United States and Canada and places like Old Sarum in England that have articles. Once notable, always notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- yes, it was a real place, but we cannot keep ghost towns without any population. It is not a census place in the last census (2020).--Arorae (talk) 00:35, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, we can keep ghost towns without any population, per WP:DEGRADE. Geschichte (talk) 09:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- but there are no ghost towns in Kiribati, just former settlements whith no more inhabitants for years, and there is no NOTABILITY on this kind of places, @Geschichte:...--Arorae (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Do we have any sources demonstrating that it was once notable? Remember, WP:GEOLAND requires more than just verification that people lived there. –dlthewave ☎ 02:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
- No it was NEVER notable. And Teraina history is very short.--Arorae (talk) 08:21, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Although this does appear to be a former populated place, it's a populated place without legal recognition which would need to meet GNG per WP:GEOLAND #2. I'm open to changing my !vote if significant coverage can be found. –dlthewave ☎ 17:19, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- How is it not legally recognized? Like Eastmain stated above, it was counted on the 2010 census. Pladica (talk) 03:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
