[edit] Blue Star Camps

Completely unnotable. The article is two sentences one, the first has the name and its location, and the second describes the activities offered at the camp, which are typical of all summer camps. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 21:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Its a US summer camp. Unless the article can explain, through the use of verifiable information taken from reliable third-party sources, how this summer camp is significantly different from the standard, run of the mill summer camp, there is nothing we can do that the camp's own site cannot do better. -- saberwyn 02:55, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Would you be so kind as to provide relevant, externally verifiable information to prove this claim? -- saberwyn 09:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
    • In keeping with the inclusionist argument regarding schools, could you outline the Wikipedia's notability requirements for camps? Jayjg ^(talk) 20:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Blue Star Camps has been active since 1948, attracts "campers" from all around the world; it gets 15,000 Google hits; is well-known within the Jewish community. If it needs to expanded, a {{stub}} tag would suffice. This editor is on a campaign to rid Wikipedia of all Jewish camps save one. --Leifern 12:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per my previous comment. Summer camps should be covered here. -- JJay 13:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As per Leifern. Certainly as notable as most of the elementary schools listed on Wikipedia, and as many of the camps listed in Category:Summer camps. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, I'm concerned about this campaign to delete Jewish camps. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 19:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Popular, notable. —Viriditas | Talk 20:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per Leifern and MPerel. Unfortunately, this article is part of a large group of articles that were recently nominated for deletion and about which there is at present much friction see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Nomination by PZFUN, and Speedy keep of several articles by Slimvirgin, so it would be advisable for this nomination to be withdrawn entirely ASAP.

• Keep As noted by others above, this delete request is part of a rampage to delete Jewish-related articles. If it is a stub, then expand it. Perhaps there could also be a merge with other pages on Jewish summer camps into a general article on Jewish summer camps and how they are different from "run-of-the-mill" US summer camps (i.e., their role in ethnic identify of Jews, history re: Jews being not welcome and/or proselytized by Christians in other summer camps, use of Hebrew and Yiddish languages at these camps, etc.) But simply deleting all Jewish summer camps as "not notable" smacks of a hidden agenda against Jews.

• Keep. Per comments above. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 01:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
