Talk:ghost town

@Hekaheka Please fix the article, it has Lua errors all over. — This unsigned comment was added by Yurivict (talk • contribs) at 00:39, 26 August 2015 (UTC).

It's not Hekaheka's fault. There was recently some kind of software bug that has now been fixed. See Wiktionary:Grease pit/2015/August#Module error cropping up in many places. --WikiTiki89 00:44, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! I realized this already. Yurivict (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

RFD sense "An Internet forum that lacks active users." and "An artist who lacks a fan base.", now redundant to the newly added generalized figurative sense. --WikiTiki89 01:19, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't think sense 4 exists ("An artist who lacks a fan base."), but if it did, I suppose it would be keepable just because it's a weird semantic leap to go from the fanbase being empty to the artist being a ghost town. Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:33, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

  It depends how would be used. If you say "This artist is a ghost town", it's pretty clear what that would mean, but if you say "Do you know any ghost towns?" and expect people to understand it means an artist without a fanbase, then it would be idiomatic. --WikiTiki89 00:01, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

About the new generalized sense: can a person really be called "ghost town" ("anyone" in the definition), like "There's always a ghost town in a school class" or "After her husband died, she became a ghost town" ? --Hekaheka (talk) 04:28, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I removed the words "or anyone". --Hekaheka (talk) 00:25, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
