Unsourced material removal[edit]

The article has been tagged since 2009 as lacking sources. The lede, Demographics section and Notable residents sections have sourcing. Nothing else does. A good portion of those other sections - maybe all them, except some minor edits - were written by a single editor, Usa1926 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Some of his/her material is accurate, but not all of it. I propose that some sections that are difficult to validate e removed:

History
The P.T. Barnum myth
Development of Island Park
Sense of community

Of course, it would be better to simply find the verifications and only remove that which could not be verified, but I suggest this is unlikely to occur given the time that has passed without fixing and the sifficulty verifying the information (and then weeding out individual items).
