Camp Tockwogh

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I declined the speedy on this, partly because of recent discussions suggesting we should be very cautious about speedy deleting articles that have been around a long time and had multiple editors, and partly because it does have some claim of significance. However, I don't believe this claim (centred around a successful revival of a camper using an automatic defibrillator after a lightning strike) is enough to meet the relevant notability guidelines.

 * Weak keep I agree, it does not show notability in its current state, and that the defibrillator story does not show it. However, I found some articles from The Sunday Morning Star and The Baltimore Sun that may be enough for WP:GNG: here, here, and here Strikehold (talk) 19:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - It got the coverage because of the freak human interest nature of the defibrillator story. I don't think that Post story is enough indication that the camp is notable. Shadowjams (talk) 01:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete the defibrillator story is interesting, the local press coverage is nice, but I'm not seeing enough to convince me WP:GNG is met. Nuttah (talk) 19:24, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
