Camp Encounter
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has gone through AfD once and was deleted, and I'm now putting it up again because once more it fails to assert notability outside of its Catholic camping community. &mdash;Sean Whitton / 15:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

This article demonstrates that the camp has a long history and that it is relevant not only to the Christian camping community but to the camping community at large and to the general public in Edmonton, Alberta.

This article is considerably better researched than the numerous other articles about summer camps on wikipedia (List of summer camps) and cites print sources which these other articles lack. --Hilu 2 (talk) 15:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No vote The camp is not very notable but the article does have some sources. I object strongly to the statement that because the people involved are Catholic their contributions somehow seem to have less value.  Please don't mention people's religion in AfD nominations.Northwestgnome (talk) 16:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there, this really wasn't what I meant! I was simply pointing out that it doesn't even appear to be notable in the subject of camping, only in the smaller subset of Catholic camping, showing that it really isn't notable at all (in my view). The actual religion is irrelevent - I would have still said it had it been "camping with bananas". &mdash;Sean Whitton / 16:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as a weird combination of copyvio and hoax.  Simply put, the article's author has simply posted text from an article about a different camp with a few odd changes to disguise the source. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
