 * Dont Delete This article represents thousands of Royal Canadian Army Cadets that have passed through Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC). It has stood for now 59 years (in July 2008) and will be 60 years old in the July of 2009. This camp has been visited by HM Queen Elizabeth II, and is the oldest/longest running Army Cadet Summer Training in Canada, and is also the most well preserved H-Hut (H shapped barracks from WWII) remaining in Canada. This article should be kept online for others to be inspire young Canadians to attend VACSTC in the future, and to keep the memories and history of former cadets alive today. The history behind VACSTC has been revised on the article. Theosaul (talk) 23:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable enough for an encyclopedia - fine for a messageboard or other website. -- Jeandré, 2008-02-03t16:05z
 * Keep - basic statements of Notability have been made, however there is the issue of verifibility of thoes statements. where, other than the camps website, are thoes events talked about.(Im sure the Queens visit got a writeup in some paper somewhere, that would help).

 * Comment &mdash; The notability guideline requires that we find reliable, independent sources that give this subject significant coverage. Claims of notability are not sufficient. Sancho 07:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. There has been pretty strong consensus in the past that summer camps are generally not notable. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete a google search of 'Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre' doesn't turn up any reliable sources which demonstrate notability. --Nick Dowling (talk) 07:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
