 * The place is a ghost town, literally and virtually. Sadly, iots also become a political poster child, which means that many refs are not neutral. I have a catalog at home which can help with its history, however, I would urge extreme caution about its population etc etc. This can lead to a political death spiral and make this a stump speech article.Coal town guy (talk) 15:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If you can update it while keeping it neutral and encyclopedic, that would be great. Of particular interest would be the pre-20th-century history.  If there are relevant categories ("former towns in...," "ghost towns in...," etc.) please add them.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  16:32, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I recall it being near Van, Boone is a strange county as far as town locations, compared to other WV counties that is.....Coal town guy (talk) 16:48, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

POV again
Looks like a ghost town as opposed to the populated community it once was.......are you shitting me? Lindytown, in Boone County, MIGHt have had a population that exceeded 500 at its production heigth in the 50's, MAYBE, so we need to be careful. I grew up near these places, most coal towns, if they had a population exceeding 1000, were considered very very large...can we please discuss this place before we edit it with these types of phrases...Coal town guy (talk) 17:34, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
