A tag has been placed on Musemont Fine Arts Camp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Clarification on deletion
Hello! I noticed you left a comment on Musemont Fine Arts Camp requesting clarification, so I'll try to provide that. For reference, your question was: This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Musemont Fine Arts Camp was a summer camp attended by thousands of students back in the 1960's and early 1970's who were interested in fine arts. This camp had significant acclaim for the arts within the community and had a huge influence on the lives of the people who attended. There were a number of nationally acclaimed musicians and artists who were on the faculty of Musemont- A. Henry Nordhausen, Hugh O. Williams, John Tamblyn, Bob Barr, and Harry Krueger to name but a few. This is one of the few places on the internet to learn any history of Musemont Fine Arts Camp, and, as such, I believe it deserves to be recognized. Doing an internet search on Musemont will show no small number of the name mentioned, but no real significant information on its founding or history of exactly what it was. If you would be so kind as to let me know specifically how I may edit the article so that it will not be deleted, or let me know what should be contained, please let me know. Unfortunately, what you say there actually supports the idea that the article isn't one we could accept. All articles are required to be backed by reliable sources which cover the subject in depth. You'll often hear this referred to as the notability requirement.

Wikipedia cannot accept personal knowledge as a source for an article, as this is unverifiable. Do keep in mind, however, that if there are non-online reliable sources about this subject (books, etc.), it is acceptable to use and cite those as sources. If there aren't any of those that cover it in depth either, I'm afraid the camp would not be a suitable topic for an article until and unless such sources are written.

That being said, we really could use some editors knowledgeable in the arts. If that's an area of interest to you, you can leave a message for WikiProject Arts, and someone could help you get started editing articles in that area, or you certainly can just find one that interests you and dive right in as well. If you have any general questions, you're welcome to ask me as well (use the "talk" link in my signature or that of most editors to contact them).
