International Astronomical Youth Camp

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable summer camp. Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources RadioFan (talk) 17:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable 40 year old international summer camp. Adequate sourcing exists . The article needs some work to make it more encyclopedic. Many more sources also available at google books.ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I would expect something with a 40 year history would have more than 6 google news hits.  These hits are either to blogs (or similarly self-published sources) and are trivial in nature.  Not the kind of significant coverage required by WP:N--RadioFan (talk) 17:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Why do you persist in neither looking for sources nor reading what others say? User:ChildofMidnight said "many more sources are available at Google books". Your own AfD nomination comes with links: . Clicking on either "books" or "scholar" will show there are enough sources. Not even doing this much counts as a bad-faith nomination, surely?

 * Please re-read my comments, they are about Google news only, not on books or scholar. Please dont assume bad faith.--RadioFan (talk) 18:21, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, assuming good faith. I saw your comments were only about the Google news hits, but that was exactly what was puzzling; why you seemed not to have looked at the other sources before nominating (after it was already a contested prod). Shreevatsa (talk) 18:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Google hit counts are not a definitive indicator of notability but the lack of news hits does raise questions in my mind. That's what I was trying to say (poorly). --RadioFan (talk) 14:41, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep In addition to my comments above (there are enough sources), we must remember that it's plausible there are sources in other European languages that do not use the words "International Astronomical Youth Camp". Shreevatsa (talk) 18:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per CoM. This is a well-established and probably as notable a science youth camp as it gets.Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 12:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
