[edit] Lake Owego Camp for Boys

Another nn camp in my general area. I can't see how notability could be asserted. Daniel Case 03:16, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. ---Charles 04:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable camp. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 04:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm assuming that summer children's camps are not usually considered notable, and if this is so, this one seems to be no different from hundereds of others. Herostratus 05:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think most camps are generally notable in the same way schools are, but this one reads like an advertisement. ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 08:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn. —Khoikhoi 22:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and consistent with Hero's proposition that childern's summer camps are generally non-notable, toward which one may consider, inter al., the reasoning of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Camp Wachusett. Joe 00:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This camp appears to be a private business as it was "created by the Black family", so WP:CORP applies. There is no assertion or evidence of meeting WP:CORP in the article. GRBerry 01:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd imagine that most summer camps are private businesses, but so too are some for-profit schools (and, for that matter, bands), and so, in situations such as this, I'd suggest that a camp could fail WP:CORP and nevertheless be notable in view of other characteristics (similar to those for which we'd think a group to be notable), although I can't conceive of what any of those characteristics might be (in view of camps' being generally non-notable); in any event, I don't suppose the distinction matters vis-à-vis this AfD.
