The article says "Ghost towns are towns that once had a considerable population, that have since dwindled in numbers causing some or all its business to close, either due to the rerouting of a highway, train tracks being pulled, or exhaustion of some natural resource" What is the basis for this definition? It does not exactly match the meaning found in Ghost towns, nor is there any citation for this present extended definition and the presence in the table of towns that have more than 0 people. Does Canada have its own special/unique definition of ghost towns? Hmains (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree we need to clarify the meaning of ghost town. Is it different in the US vs. Canada? What's the differentiation between a Canadian ghost town and former settlement? --Rosiestep (talk) 18:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I note that some provinces have separate articles listing ghost towns, and that the lists are not the same as those in this article. If a province has a separate list in another article, this list should contain only the wiki link. Trying to maintain the same lists in two separate articles is pointless, and an invitation to confusion. Plazak (talk) 19:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
