[edit] Camp Miriam

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)} 05:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Although this is a Canadian summer camp, my above point stands. -- saberwyn 23:57, 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 08:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, again a sloppy nomination. Camp Miriam is a Canadian (not a US) summer camp. If the article needs to be rewritten and/or expanded, then other tags are appropriate. This is part of a campaign to delete articles on every Jewish summer camp but one. --Leifern 12:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Another unthinking nomination, this Canadian (not U.S.) camp is almost 60 years old, associated with an international movement, member of Foundation for Jewish Camping as one of 7 Habonim Dror camps [1], mentioned in The Canadian Jewish News, certainly as notable as many of the elementary schools listed on Wikipedia and camps listed in Category:Summer camps.

• Keep, I'm concerned about this campaign to delete Jewish camps. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 19:43, 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by PZFUN, and Speedy keep of several articles by Slimvirgin, so it would be advisable for this nomination to be withdrawn entirely ASAP.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 above. —Viriditas | Talk 23:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above and my other comments on some of the many other noms from this user. -- JJay 23:47, 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" 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€ 01:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
