 * Comment Found one book here . On it's own not enough to establish notability, but there may be more out there. Yoenit (talk) 14:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete – At this time. Surprisingly I was able to find two references for the “Lapidus Bungalows”.  The first from the New York Times, as shown here  with regards to the death of the bungalows owners.  The second reference was in the Jerusalem Post as shown here, which talks about the area as a resort.  However, they were the only two references to the cottages I could find.  If these two pieces are the only sources available, than the bungalows do not meet the threshold for inclusion at Wikipedia.  However, I could be easily swayed to change my opinion if someone can find additional references or cites that show notability other than these two references.  Thanks.

 * The NYT ref is a paid obituary, those are primary sources and do nothing for notability. Yoenit (talk) 15:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Non-notable and unverified. The article attempts to claim some kind of historical importance because of the proximity of the cottages to the Woodstock festival, but any connection is completely unsourced and unverified. That's half of the article. The other half is defining what a bungalow is, also unsourced. One of the external links provided is to the town of Bethel, but its history section says nothing about the cottages. The other is to a rambling blog which also does not mention them that I could find. The third link  is a website posted by the Lapidus children, thus not independent. --MelanieN (talk) 01:07, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
