Welcome Camp

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

Speedy declined, thus listed here. Non-notable group that organizes workshops/events at a Burning Man. See also discussion with author at User_talk:Passportguy, although be careful not to confuse the notability fo Burning man with that of this group, especially when it comes to membership numbers that are claimed.

 * Delete. Non-notable group of people who get together at a notable event. Good luck to them, and they may yet become notable, but they aren't right now. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 15:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Im not sure what I do here but I guess I stated everything on Passportguy talk page. When you talk about confusion of membership numbers, I feel you are saying this because I am purposely trying to confuse membership numbers. I am and have not tried to do so. The membership of this theme camp is right about 50. That is 50 members of the theme camp. Burning man has 50,000 participants. They buy tickets not to see our theme camp but to come to the event and participate in MANY theme camps. We have thosands of visitors to our theme camp during the event. There is no way to prove this because we do not sell tickets to our camp. We have picutes of the events, community murals that are contributed to by thosands of people, emails from hundreds of people that felt they needed to tell us how they enjoyed our camp and want more information on how to join and just general information.RACESV (talk) 18:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh and I guess it is worth noting that since a portion of this page was deleted by someone, that I have just started this page. Once it was up the other members, that is some of the 50, and perhaps some of the thousands of visitors would begin to edit this page and provide more information and provide notability and eventually be a place for people to come gain information about the theme camp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RACESV (talk • contribs) 18:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

no⋅ta⋅ble 1. worthy of note or notice; noteworthy: a notable success; a notable theory. 2. prominent, important, or distinguished: many notable artists. Synonyms: celebrated distinguished great illustrious noted preeminent prestigious These are things that only people that have been to Camp Welcome or Welcome Camp would be qualified to answer. For someone to say that it is "Non-notable" I would ask that person when they had visited the camp. I believe anyone who may attend Burning Man and visits this camp would agree that it is all of these things including notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.104.215 (talk) 19:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC) — 71.9.104.215 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment: I dare say. But notability in this context means something quite different: it's a requirement that articles have sufficient, reliable third-party reporting about them, amongst other things. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 19:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - we judge whether a subject is "worthy of note or notice" through coverage in reliable sources as documented in our notability guidelines. I can find no such coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
