North Woods Camp

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

I think that this article should be deleted as there is a lack of reliable sources independant of the summer camp itself or the camp's parent organisation, the YMCA of Greater Boston, which means that the article does not meet the Reliable Sources or Notability policies/guidelines.

The only sources provided in the article are two citations from the camp's website, and one cittion of the YMCA Greater Boston. Searching Google News for "North Woods" "Summer Camp" comes up with 171 results across all dates, but all of the ones I looked at used the term "North Woods" as a term for a geographical area, instead of the name of a specific summer camp. Filtering by adding "New Hampshire" failed to bring up any results specific to this camp, and using YMCA or Winnipesaukee (the lake the camp is on) as a qualifier provided only one relevant result, a passing mention in an obituary for a man who worked as a chaplain at the camp at some point during his life. Similar searches of Google Scholar provided no relevant results I could find.

If multiple, reliable, independant sources can be provided, or the existence of such demonstrated, I would be willing to withdraw the nomination.

Declaration of Conflict: I worked at this camp as a foreign counselor a few years ago. The place is amazing, and I enjoyed my time there. However, I still believe that the camp does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. -- saberwyn 07:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
