[edit] Camp PALS
I believe this article fails to assert notability (according to criteria set by Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)) of its subject, a non-profit 1-week summer camp held at Cabrini College in Radnor every year, by citing sufficient independent sources which cover the subject in depth, mainly relying on media blogs. It appears to serve mainly as a brochure for the camp, and is edited primarily by user accounts which bear names of people who are involved in running the camp.

I am also nominating the following related page because it merely serves as an adjunct to the above, and again fails to justify notability:
- Delete both - There are thousands of summer camps in the US, this one happens to be for trisomy 21 afflicted children. We should not be moved by sympathy for their parents and allow this advertisement to remain on Wikipedia. 75.184.84.89 13:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete pretty clearly spammy and written by a WP:COI account. If the activity is notable (and the article doesn't suggest such) then it deserves a better article than this. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete both. Wikipedia is not a webhost for non-profit brochures. (Why do these articles always have to have the mission statement? The mission statement assists the NPO board and staff in providing focus. It is not of general interest.) --Dhartung | Talk 16:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Both, fails WP:N, WP:RS, WP:COI and WP:SPAM. The page looks like a brochure, complete with pictures, used to promote the camp. Also, the Notability section is an obvious attempt to keep the article. Notability comes from sources, not your explanation. Nenyedi • (Deeds•Talk) 16:41, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete both, notability/spam/reliable sources/conflict of interest. I think PALS meets criterion A7 and can be speedy deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 16:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete both - there are hundreds of camps like this in the US and world, also article is spammed. Shruti14 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete both Nenyedi said it. ¿SFGiДnts! ¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review! 20:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
