[edit] Camp Massad

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 and full of non-verifyable POV statements. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 05:02, 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)
  • Are you referring to Summer camp? I personally have absolutely no problems with that article. in the same way I have no problem with McDonald's, but would automatically nominate for deletion McDonald's West Ryde II. -- saberwyn 09:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Amongst other things, this camp is unique in that it is the only Hebrew immersion camp in Western Canada. Also can't help but notice that only Jewish summer camps were put up for deletion today...- Darknightonight | Talk 14:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable camp in Canada for reasons listed above and below. —Viriditas | Talk 20:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Another sloppy nomination by someone who has been on a deletion campaign vis-a-vis Jewish articles which he hasn't closely read. This is the only Hebrew-immersion camp in Western Canada (not the U.S.), mentioned in several stories in The Canadian Jewish News and Jewish Independent, site of Winnipeg Beach's only synagogue (over 50 years old), received grants of $22,500 from The Winnipeg Foundation in 2005, [1], 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)} 20:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This mass AfD nomination of articles on Jewish camps is an obvious WP:POINT violation. Pecher ^Talk 20:48, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Viriditas, MPerel, 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by PZFUN, and Speedy keep of several articles by Slimvirgin, so it would be advisable for this nomination to be withdrawn entirely ASAP.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 No more or less notable than the dozens of camps in Category:Summer camps that are not up for AFD. Homey 22:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Jayjg. Alithien 23:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Frankly, I'd like to see articles on every summmer camp in the world. Barring that, I don't want to sit back and watch every Jewish camp get deleted. -- JJay 23:53, 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.

• Keep. Per comments above. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 01:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Why? Because I have watched this entry grow, more than that there is enough in this entry to differentiate between any other "ordinary" camp. What other camp has programs like Massad? What other camp has history like Massad? This is more than the run-of-the-mill summer camp. This is life for every camper that returns, or becomes a counselor. And thus, along with the fact that is the only Hebrew Immersion camp in Western Canada, this should stay. If that's not enough, per comments above. Sens08 05:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
