I do see the word "microtown" used, but in passing as something that needs no explanation and which hardly means something as specific as this. I could find no justification for the 500 population cutoff, and frankly if I were setting such a standard it would be at least an order of magnitude lower. At any rate, it's basically an unsourced, bloated, and dubious WP:DICTDEF which needs to go away. Mangoe (talk) 15:57, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as either a hoax or exclusively original research, but neither of those should have their own article. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:11, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
