Speedy delete Negligent misrepresentation of source. Durham only says under Madeline entry "Postal authorities established Ashton post office..." not that it's a community. Nothing claims or establishes notability here.

And now I Know why, A user named Carlossuarez46 has mass created possibly thousands of stubs about California ghost towns that may or may not have actually existed. I estimate around 470-500 of these articles have been deleted or proposed/Nominated deletion.--

Delete clearly not a notable place. The history connected with this shows why we should go to making every new article have to go through AfD. We spent far too long valuing quantity over quality.
