List of fictional summer camps[edit]

An incomplete, miscellaneous collection of information. This list does nothing more than a category would. Tavix (talk) 16:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This list is absolutely arbitrary, and could theoretically be nearly infinite. TallNapoleon (talk) 18:54, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there is no need for this list. abf /talk to me/ 19:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Does more than a category, as it relates the name of the camp to the name of t he fiction. (anyway, cant be a category till we write articles on the individual camps, which is not a course I would suggest.) Should of course be limited to camps havinga central significance in notable fictions with Wikipedia article,s but that's part of the improvement that can be brought about by editing.

Reply to DGGThen if it is limited to camps having central significance, then it would be possible to create a category to the shows, not nessessarily about the camps. For example, Camp Rock is the name of the show, and it could have a category attached to it "Television shows that have a summer camp" or something like that. Seriously though, stop trying to keep every article that you lay your eyes on and start looking at the policies. You list no policies that we can use to keep the article and instead provide that it would serve more than a category. That boils down to WP:ILIKEIT which isn't a valid argument for deletion/keep. Learn the facts and stay out of places you don't belong. Tavix (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a trivial list. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 01:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I liked it. But as WP:ILIKEIT shows, that's not a reason for keep. It's interesting (also not a reason WP:INTERESTING) to note that few of these camp names have a hidden meaning (like Camp Anawanna or, not on the list Camp Runamuck). Camp Granada's name occurs only because it rhymed with "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", and the others, like "Camp North Star" and "Camp Crystal Lake" are answers to trivia questions.

Delete Yeah... how come "Camp Runamuck" was not on this trivia list??? That was great Summer filler show, right alongside "Hank" and "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster"! Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as nontrivial, useful, and unoriginal research and because we are a collection of info. “I don’t like it” is NOT a reason for deletion. Passes WP:V and WP:N. The article is kind of like a table of contents to other articles, too. If it is incomplete, complete it! --209.247.22.86 (talk) 15:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In what way does it pass WP:V and WP:N? That isn't the policy at hand here. It's the fact that it is a pointless collection of information. A lot of movies have summer camps, but it could just as easily be used as a category. Tavix (talk) 01:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
