Talk:Santa Claus, Arizona

Cutting room floor

This defendant listed his address as SANTA CLAUS, AZ 86413 in 2000. The case was dismissed in 2007. This probably has some info for the article if someone wants to get a copy of the book. There are other photos available for the article here. -- Suntag ☼ 15:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused, how does this help us improve the article? I'm somewhat sleepy, so don't think that I'm calling your comment pointless; I'm simply asking for a larger explanation. Nyttend (talk) 19:14, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Santa Claus, Arizona/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article passes most of the criteria. I do have several qualms with this article though:

1.  Done All images are on the right, any chance you could move some to the left?
2.  Done "Establish in 1937" ? - Check please.
3.  Done "Within five years of 1937" ? - Rewording needed.
4.  Done "Santa Clause" or Santa Claus? Suntag comment The references generally use "Claus"
5.  Done "and through 1961 remailing service advertisements offering to postmark letters from Santa Claus, Arizona" - need to repeat Arizona?
6.  Done "In the 1930s, Los Angeles, California real estate woman Nina Talbot" - add an "a" there,
7.  Done Wikilink "rum pie"?
8.  Done Can reference 18 be turned into a footnote?
9. Any chance that you can map out on an Arizona map approximately, where it was? Suntag comment - I posted {{reqmapin}} to the talk page and added a request at User:Seth_Ilys/Dot_Project#Arizona
10. The Geology section is shorter than the image in the section, is expansion possible? Suntag comment - I'll give a more detailed sarch of USGA[1].
11. I am very disappointed in the idea that the almost the entire article is about its history. I am sure that there is more to this abandoned village than meets the eye. I really suggest putting some more research into other details. Suntag comment I'll look through the references used in the articles at Wikipedia:Good_articles#North_America to see if I can locate additional source material.

For now, I am putting this article on hold for fourteen days rather than seven, because I believe that more deep research is needed. I really suggest doing it soon, meaning we won't have to wait 14 days.Mitch32^{(Go Syracuse)} 22:57, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry about this. My major problems haven't really been solved, and to be truthful, I am going to fail this article. You can bring it to GAR or just renom when its ready.Mitch32^{(Go Syracuse)} 15:44, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Some kind of project?

Of course articles on quaint or bizarre topics make me curious, so I decided to check the whole thing out on Google Maps and Google Street View. Even without using the search field, it wasn't too hard to track it down, but to my surprise this search yielded something else. According to Google Maps, much of the surroundings of Santa Claus are filled with a dense netwerk of streets - an entire city, in fact. Look. Of course, air photos and Street View yield nothing, just barren desert. So why does this non-existent city show up on Google Maps? Some kind of project, maybe a planned Kingman suburb? (If so, it seems quite moribund to me, but what else can it be, except a joke? It's far too obvious to be a copyright trap.) Steinbach (talk) 11:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Santa Claus, Arizona

Santa Claus, Arizona is gone. The buildings have been leveled. I've no idea whether it's been sold. All the old remnants of the place have vanished. 50.38.179.200 (talk) 19:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
