We cannot very well delete this page until a substitute phrase is found and all uses in WP of 'populated place' are replaced with the substitute. Not only is this term linked in countless articles, 'populated place' is the agreed upon terminology WP uses in the names of thousands of categories that collectively group cities/towns/villages and all other inhabitated localities--throughout the world, not just the US. See Category:Populated places and its subcats. The use of the term 'populated place' here was extensively discussed and decided on (a term I did not personally agree with, but that was the decision).
