[edit] Campzone

Non-english (Dutch?) advertisement for a huge LAN party, I think.

• Delete. Ken 13:42, August 3, 2005 (UTC) Changing my vote to Keep, as the article has moved in a very encyclopedic direction, now that it's been translated and significantly enhanced. Ken 22:02, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. --BradBeattie 15:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Dutch advert -Soltak 16:39, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: I've translated it. The author claims it's the biggest outdoor LAN event in Europe. No idea if it's true or verifiable, but I'd Delete it as a substub unless someone expands to include its location, organizers, etc. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:38, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it is the biggest outdoor LAN event in Europe. Give me a couple days to expand it; it has national media coverage and basically consists of hundreds of people with tents and computers, and storage capacity exceeding a petabyte. Radiant_>|< 13:49, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, the article was created by an enthousiastic visitor (I recognize his nickname) noticing the absence of a English article apparantly, but needs expanding. I believe CampZone is notable because it is an established unique large outdoor LAN party event. I haven't been able to disprove the claim that CampZone is indeed the largest outdoor LAN party at the moment yet. I'm going to expand the article as much as I can (I have been participating in the event for three years now). JeroenHoek 16:26, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I also am convinced that Campzone should be allowd to take it's place here. Although i also can niether prove/disprove the "biggest in Europe" claim, i DO know that it is big, and fast becoming a "Cult Event" in Europe and is worthy of a wider audiance, especially in an Online Encyclopedia like Wikipedia. I myself have just returned from my 3rd Campzone event and as always am looking forward to the next years Event. The addition of this entry will only help the growth of an already much publisized (in Holland) event in the gaming community. --Coyotekid57 17:48, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, CampZone is quite an unique event and it's worth a place in the Wikipedia so more people can take notice of the fact that an event like this exists. CampZone is also working on a more international character of the event, so a Wiki article can be usefull to reach some more people from abroad. At the moment people are seriously busy expanding the article. Please give them some time to write it. --Chell 22:39, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I am one of the organizers and would also like to request to keep this article. There is allready a forum thread active on discussing the entry and which information to provide. Speaking as organisation of Campzone I would also like to see a correct and informational article take form and be incorperated into the global knowledge that is wikipedia. Several plans are beying made to submit information in detail. This is not just meant as a big advertisement, we have enough of that. Campzone to our knowledge is a quite unique event, especially on our scale (1700+ people). Biggest outdoor lan in Europe is certainly true, actually, I know of no other in the whole world? --Quindor 23:00, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. It is now a good and valid article. Punkmorten 11:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
