Article Maynooth science camp listed on WP:VFD Jul 8 to Jul 15 2004, consensus was to delete. Discussion:
- Personally, I think this should stay, but I'm listing it here because someone else originally marked it as speedy deletion... — Timwi 13:37, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: Where is Maynooth? Why "nerds?" How is this science camp different from all others? What are the "verious" activities? What contributions to the world has the science camp made? I've got nothing against science camps...went to Latin camp myself...but seems not notable. Geogre 14:02, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I nominated it for speedy delete. Its obviously a child having a go at his schoolmates for being nerds. Maynooth Science Camp does exist [1], though I doubt it is encyclopedic. Dunc_Harris|☺ 14:57, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete or we'll end up with a list of all summer camps, extra-curricular activities and school societies, none of which will tell anyone anything they need to know. Enough! Cutler 14:33, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC)
- I kinda like "verious activities." Wonder if this guy rides the short yellow bus to the place? Delete per reasons stated. - Lucky 6.9 21:47, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- delete unless someone actually fills it with relevant information. Eskrima 03:44, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, because it is too short, does not give useful information about the camp, and does not say why it is notable. As with other items of local interest, it is not valuable as a stub because a) it does not point out a topic that is important and needs coverage, b) because it is of interest to only a few people the chances of it growing soon are slim.

- P.S. I just cleaned it up, but still vote to delete. You know what? It wasn't that hard to find out where Maynooth is... Dpbsmith 22:19, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: I was listing questions that the article ought to answer in order to be informative to a reader, not listing questions that were bothering me. An article that cannot tell its readers the context for its subject, including notability, is in need either of Clean Up or VfD, in my mind. I wasn't trying to be mean, just critique.

- I agree with you, completely. I think we are much too kind on articles that are initially posted in a grossly incomplete state yet are not good stubs. People should wait until they have a least a nice, decent, meaty, coherent paragraph or two with some decent chunks of information in it before they create a page. What's the big rush? Wikipedia isn't trying to scoop anyone. Dpbsmith 16:30, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
