Keep. This community has been noted in books of the era and modern sources, as well, as shown in the existing references. A search using "Excelsior"+"Elko" (the county the place was in) pulls up a considerable number of results. There appear to be news articles, as well, although these results are mixed in with results for a site near Las Vegas, as well. Despite that, the existing references have noted the community, including two pages discussing the site in Hall's 2002 book. According to
WP:GEOLAND, "Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history." No reason to delete this article.

I actually kinda forgot that adding + to google's search as well as " would further narrow the search results. I had simply put in "Excelsior, Nevada" and some of my results were for Excelsior in Nevada County in California. Thanks for re-enlightening me on how Google's search works. I was about to withdraw anyways after seeing people had found sources related to the subject. It appears I need to get better at using Google search.
