Name change?[edit]

Category:Local council camps (Boy Scouts of America) should become Category:Boy Scouts of America reservations. --evrik 13:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That could get confused with national level ones, like Philmont and Florida Sea Base.Rlevse 14:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the name of the category conflicts with the description. --evrik 14:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There are a few threads on this right now. They need put into one spot.Rlevse 15:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agreed, there is a related conversation here. --evrik 15:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More information[edit]

More information on all Scout camps in the U.S. is available in the "Scout Camps U.S.A" book".. Chris 00:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good resource. Does anyone have a copy? --evrik ^(talk) 14:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

notability[edit]

What is the difference between a notable and a non-notable local council camp? What makes a camp notable?

I have attempted to create a well-sourced article on a local council camp, but it has been deleted as being a "non-notable" subject. I provided many sources asserting notability - however these have been overlooked and the article deleted based on being assumed to be a recreation of a previously deleted (and unsourced) article on the topic. The camp is just as notable as many of the other camps included in this category (I know because I have been to many of the camps here). Furthermore, the article was well-sourced to show notability (citing more outside sources than most of the articles in here).

I don't want to be the "if you delete one you have to delete everything" guy -- but if some of these camps have articles, why is a camp that is just as notable (if not more so) and the article is well-written, researched and sourced not permitted as well. I have been unable to engage of the objectors in actual discussion on the subject an I feel like no one is listening to me. - Minsi (talk) 22:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I too would like to know. I tagged many of these articles for their lack of asserting notability and/or for lack of citing any sources. I'm not saying these camps are not a notable subjects, but many of these articles (as they are written now) don't show or explain what the notability is. Is there a standard, guideline or policy for gauging the notability of a local council camp? What is the minimal standard needed for a local council camp to be considered notable? Or are all local council camps just inherently notable? ScoutCruft (talk) 02:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
