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) reply
  • Simply saying it isn't notable isn't a valid argument, per the guidelines set by WP:GEOLAND and WP:DEGRADE it is. Also, how is it not a ghost town? Does the definition of "A ghost town or alternatively deserted city or abandoned city is an abandoned village, town, or city, usually one that contains substantial visible remaining buildings and infrastructure such as roads." not fit Kaaitara?

  • sorry to tell you that there are no roads in Teraina only paths in the bush, for pedestrians, and that the only substantial buildings may only include buia (small bungalows) that are generally moved when people do not live there. if not moved, the wood and the pandanus leaves of the buia are quickly reused elsewhere. If you can show me the remains of Kaataraina, it will be my pleasure to offer you a bottle of champagne of good quality, as I am French. @ Pladica:-- Arorae ( talk) 17:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC) reply
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) reply
No it was NEVER notable. And Teraina history is very short.-- Arorae ( talk) 08:21, 28 August 2021 (UTC) reply
