[edit] Camp Galil

To quote User:Saberwyn, this is 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. Entirely non-notable. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 04:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Well the average run of the mill summer camp often has its own article on wikipedia as well.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 08:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - this is notable as a flagship camp for the Labor Zionist youth movement, has been in operation for a long time, and has thousands of alumni. Yes, it needs to be rewritten and expanded, but a {{stub}} tag would suffice for that purpose. --Leifern 12:15, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • this is notable as a flagship camp for the Labor Zionist youth movement... Would you be so kind as to provide an externally verifiable quote or citation from a reliable third party source to support this claim? If you can do so, I may be inclined to change my own opinion. -- saberwyn 12:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Oldest Jewish summer camp in Pennsylvania (60 years old), associated with an international movement, member of Foundation for Jewish Camping as one of 7 Habonim Dror camps [1], mentioned in more than one story in The Forward and The Jewish Exponent,[2] [3] [4], certainly as notable as many of the elementary schools listed on Wikipedia.

• Keep, I'm concerned about this campaign to delete Jewish camps. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 19:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per MPerel. Pecher ^Talk 20:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per Leifern and Jayjg. 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by PZFUN, and Speedy keep of several articles by Slimvirgin, so it would be advisable for this nomination to be withdrawn entirely ASAP.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 per Jayjg. Support IZAK request. Alithien 23:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Should not have been nominated. -- JJay 23:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• 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.
