Camp La-No-Che[edit]

It has won many national awards from various camping associations (including those not affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America). It is very well known in general in Florida and of course within Scouting circles. There are over 60,000 Boy Scouts in Florida who utilize this camp. Prior to being a BSA camp it was a hunting lodge for the Roosevelt family. This article should be kept!

Weak Keep - seems like an interesting place. Might be some useful information to somebody. I say give it a chance. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-encyclopedic, NN camp. Nothing to distinguish it from any other camp. Interesting and useful do not make something encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a camp directory. Agent 86 20:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - 1,480 acres is a large camping ground, and of note as any small city. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - This Scout camp is one of the best in the nation and thousands of Scouts flock to it every year. This article gives important information about the camp and is better as a separate article rather than being absorbed by a less specific article. --Mtjaws 13:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep (weak argument):It seems more notable than many things we have kept(masts, bus stops, minor members of nobility, short sections of 2 lane state hiways). (stronger argument):It has several thousand Ghits, showing notability at independent websites maintained by scout troops, and it has been written up numerous times in Scouting magazine, a publication of Boy Scouts of America. There is some degree of independence since the camp is owned by a local council of the larger organization, analogous to a local church being sourced to a denomination-wide publication.

Keep: This camp has a large reputation in Scouting, is very popular, and has won many awards. It is widely considered one of the best in the state. I myself have camped there, both for weekends and full weeks, many times. There are often troops from all over the nation and several from outside the US there.

Keep Give the article some time to mature. It is part of a series on Florida camps as well. --evrik ^(talk) 03:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
strong delete It is analogous to some things WP has foolishly done at the start, and there are 2 choices: keep going the way we now recognize as wrong. and b/ start doing it right.DGG 01:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Could you please explain what WP has done foolishy, why it is wrong, and the official policy you are referring to? --evrik ^(talk) 14:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there are lots of summer camp articles on wiki and this one's more noticeable than most. Rlevse 15:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
