This article contains of a chunk of unsourced "classifications" and then lists what appears to be a very arbitrary collection of sites, including two sparsely but indisputably inhabited towns, and a dilapidated amusement park. One single reference and that for a place that does not appear to be a ghost town. I'm seeing a lot of WP:OR and next to nothing to back up inclusion of entries. At present, there's no basis for an article. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 16:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Animaland Park is a sculpture garden and amusement park closed down but then reopened as an active campground, so not a ghost town. Forest City, New Brunswick had a thousand people and now has 12. Havelock, New Brunswick has no information saying its a ghost town. Napadogan, New Brunswick has no information about it. Partridge Island (Saint John County) was never well populated, it just where immigrants went through for processing. St. Martins, New Brunswick was once a major shipbuilding town and now has very few people living there, so its a ghost town I suppose. Even if the maybes on the short list had references found calling them ghost towns, not really enough to make a list article for. Dream Focus 18:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete the criteria listed are unsourced original research, and don't seem to match up with the usual definition of a ghost town. None of the places listed is described as a ghost town or abandoned settlement in its article, several are either not described as settlements at all or are described as still inhabited. Nor are there any sources describing the entries as ghost towns. Hut 8.5 18:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: None of the items on the list are ghost towns. In fact one is annexing surrounding areas, "On 1 January 2023, St. Martins annexed all or part of three local service districts to form the new village of Fundy-St. Martins". The criteria itself contradicts what a ghost town is, the remaining is OR. A list with no criteria and no entries is no article. // Timothy :: talk 08:02, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
