[edit] Pine Forest Camp

Non-notable sleepover camp. One of the oldest family run businesses in America although only 75 years old? RickK 00:50, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:07, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, specialized knowledge is notable in my opinion. Besides, Google yields 5400 hits for this. Andrew pmk 03:20, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • True but you average summer camp hardly qualifies as "specialized knowledge". Megan1967 04:30, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • What specialized knowledge does this article evince? RickK 05:30, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless the camp has sufficient history and notability, and then Expand. As-is the article is just another useless tidbit of information about yet another childrens' summer camp. Arkyan 04:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless someone provides notable evidence. Zzyzx11 04:24, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, one of the top camps in America, celebrating 75th Anniversary, plus I've gone there for 9 years. Jared21487 02:05, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Just some American summer camp.Martg76 09:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, apparently named the 'family business of the year' and won other awards, 75 years of history, and necessary to coverage of its local area. Kappa 17:29, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • A little bit of Googling reveals the camp was given this award by MassMutual Life Insurance company. I would hardly say this qualifies a small business for notoriety. If the author or someone else would share with us some chapters of its 75 year history that warrant a general knowledge encyclopedia entry then I can see keeping it, but currently there is nothing in this entry worth hanging on to.

    • An award from MassMutual Life Insurance doesn't make it earth-shatteringly famous, but it elevates it above the level of "random small business vanity", which is enough for me. Kappa 00:43, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Summer camps are not encyclopedia topics, as a general rule, and notwithstanding MassMutual to the contrary, this isn't apparently an exception. Wikipedia isn't a Summer Camp Guide. --BM 18:43, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't see how this is notable or necessary to the coverage of its local area. DaveTheRed 18:55, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless more information indicating notability is provided. 400 campers all summer? -Aranel ("Sarah") 21:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
