[edit] Lac du Bois

Lac du Bois (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Bringing this here for discussion on the remaining Concordia Language Villages' individual programs. As a whole, there's nothing notable about the individual programs, although the overall Concordia Language Villages is probably notable under the proposed schools guidelines and I'm not advocating the deletion of that. But there's nothing encyclopedic about the individual articles and most of the content is more oriented toward website content/infomation rather than an enyclopedia. They could be re-written, if they were notable. There's nothing to distinguish them from any other language program and or make them notable outside the overal l Concordia program. I don't think a merge is appropriate as there's too much extraneous info (talking in parts about the geography of the camp, which is the same across the articles) and I don't think they're plausible search terms as a redirect because they all apparently (from the languages I understand) mean "Lake in the Woods". So for the same reason I'm including the following related articles:

Voyageurs (camp) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Sjölunden (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Mori no Ike (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Al-Waha (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The rest have all been previously deleted, mostly speedy it seems but none fit an apparent speedy criteria. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 05:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Concordia Language Villages, probable merge all there. Sacre bleu! Takes me back to two summers at Lac du Bois/Camp Holiday in the 1970s. The whole shebang is definitely notable -- I know they have a great record creating language teachers, if not always the claimed world leaders. But individual camps, while several could well be sourced if someone wanted to take the time, wouldn't have that much unique information. I would almost view them the same as dorms or language-based houses on a college campus. --Dhartung | Talk 07:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment, making it clear. I didn't mean for CLV to be included, that's notable as the 'parent' organization for lack of a better word. I just mentioned it to give the orgs context. I agree with your assessment that they're akin to dorms/language houses but I don't know that the content would fit in the parent org without bogging it down in minutiae of the individual programs and redundant content. Maybe merge and trim heavily. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 07:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Didn't mean to add to the confusion. Perhaps a List of Concordia Language Villages camps? --Dhartung | Talk 20:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Nationally known special program camps. I've !voted to delete almost all camp articles brought here, but these ones are notable. They are more than language houses, they are separate establishments. But I'm not sure of the best organisation for the material --perhaps the different language programs are more important than the physical locations,since these arer really just subprograms with the overall system. .
