This camp is notable (it's a Southern institution) but the article's creator needs to work on verifying its notability using reliable sources. See:
- Notability Guideline -- the article must establish that the camp is important enough to merit an article. This guideline sets out the criteria (see also the subsidiary guideline for organizations in particular -- you'll find links to it on that page).
- Verifiability Policy -- it's not enough to write (as I did above) that it's notable -- you've got to prove it with a footnote or a link to a "reliable source" -- like a notable newspaper or magazine article. Blogs, forums, etc. don't establish it. The Cashier Chronicle isn't notable enough, but the Asheville Citizen-Times or Southern Living is.
- Reliable Sources Guideline

A.B.,
Thank you for looking at Camp Merrie-Woode today. I found proof in the National Register of Historic Places of Jackson County that the camp is historic and it should pass the Verifiability Policy necessary to have included on Wikipedia.
The National Register of Historic Places resides on Wikipedia as a verifiable source.
Camp Merrie-Woode was added in 1995 to the National Register of Historic Places for Jackson County, North Carolina
Thanks for your consideration.
