Manitoba Pioneer Camp

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable summer camp. No independent references provided, only a link to Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada, which is itself of dubious notability. Was deleted per WP:PROD in April 2014 and was recently undeleted at WP:REFUND per a request from an IP. --Finngall ^talk 15:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You need to explain why you think it is not notable, see WP:JNN --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Lacks the coverage necessary for WP:ORG. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 21:07, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep actually appears in quite a few books with a paragraph or two. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Apparently important in the history of Canadian canoeing programs. The article is actually cited to a university press book with non-trivial coverage already and there are other references available (and I'm sure if we dig there are plenty of periodical references. Not "just a summer camp"... nom appears to me part of a trend of nominating "thing in category x" just because it's assumed that thing in category x would be inherently unnotable without looking to see if thing is notable or not. --Samuel J.

Keep - Per significant coverage in many books such as [1] and [2] --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- if Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship of Canada is anything like Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (formerly Inter-Varsity Fellowship) in UK - its UK equivalent, it is certainly notable. Accordingly the nom's logic is defective. If there is a problem with artcile under discussion, the solution should be to merge a summary to the IVCF of Canada article, not to delete the article.
