Completely non notable bait shop. There's simply nothing of note here. Kbabej (talk) 02:50, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable company. [qub/x q;o++a] ++ 03:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete The first ref is actually in-depth coverage, sort of an obituary on the business when it closed. The rest are passing mentions.  Not enough to establish notability. Created by SPA with only four edits to this article. MB 04:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep: This former business established long running Fishing Contests that exist to this day and also established fishing reporting to the State of Maryland and for the region. These events began in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and unfortunately little of the documentation from this time period exists online. I did find one here.  Joh7586 (talk) 13:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: I have added additional valid references to this page. Particularly the Mountain Discoveries Magazine article provides specific evidence of notability.  Joh7586 (talk) 13:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: Many pages on the internet cite this establishment. Google search results yield 718 results for the page title as an exact phrase. More google results for partial matches as well. Joh7586 (talk) 13:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Apologies if I have formatted these discussion entries incorrectly. Joh7586 (talk) 13:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Additional !votes by Joh7586 stricken. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge to Deep Creek Lake State Park. The aspect of records management over many years combined with the fact that this institution is defunct and the piece is therefore non-promotional would indicate that a short section containing a great deal of the information in this stubby piece would be appropriate. I hope that Jon7586 will consider this option. No problem with leaving a redirect if such sourced information is written into that piece. Carrite (talk) 10:10, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge as above. The place had local prominence in the park but nothing else. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:42, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge to Deep Creek Lake State Park, which presently has no mention. This will improve the merge target article. North America1000 10:54, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
