Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of places with fewer than ten residents
Having edited this page few times to add the odd referenced russian settlement, I have seen it grow from quite an interesting list to an unmanageable mess. The uninhabited section is ridiculous and now takes up half the article, despite having a link to List of ghost towns, which surely is duplication. In addition there are places noted as uninhabited that have never been inhabited. This is patently illogial as there is essentially an infinite number of places that could be described as "uninhabited" depending on how small an area you defined as a "place". For the remainder of the article, I have  conerns as well (which are also noted by others on the article talk page) as stopping at ten is an inherently arbitrary decision. I can see how there might be encyclopedic value in an article along the lines of List of settlements with one resident where settlement (or whatever word was used) would indicate an officially recognised "place", not just a house or general area, and one that was still in official existence, not one that had been abolished yet still had inhabitants. I don't however see much possibility of constructing such an article from this one as most of the places noted here as having one person populations either are unreferenced in the place's own article or do not even mention population. A shame though because it is quite an interesting set of links
