Camp Tyler

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can find no sources to indicate that this camp passes the WP:GNG. In terms of news articles, I've only found a local source that's more about Paul Bunyan than Camp Tyler and a local blog from an organization that gave a grant to the camp. Not GNG material.

There is a book that mentions Camp Tyler, but upon inspection, the book's information about Camp Tyler is almost 100% identical to our article, verbatim. The book was published in 2011, while our article was created in 2008, so I believe this is not a copyvio on our part but an unattributed Wikipedia import on theirs. Since the information is a copy of a Wikipedia article, it doesn't qualify as a GNG source. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:52, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete it's possible that, with improvements, this article could meet WP:GEOLAND. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:04, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - one of thousands of such camps. Bearian (talk) 01:29, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 *  Provisional keep . Using my newly granted newspaper.com access, I found a number of old newspapers talking about the subject, including describing it as the first of its kind. I request this discussion not to be closed until I had time to analyze the sources during my lunch break. Regards  So Why  07:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, this is what I found:     (incl. mentions in Michigan and Louisiana newspapers). Unfortunately, my lunch break is not nearly as long as I would have hoped so I can't provide more now but even based on this and the amount of hits (350+) I think this is sufficiently notable for inclusion, albeit barely, so weak keep.

 * Delete: nothing to suggest that this camp is particularly notable when compared with others (WP:MILL). Also,, I'm also working on the Feb '09 backlog :)   Dr Strauss   talk   16:36, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
