Originally speedy-tagged as spam, but the author, User:The Umbrella Corporation, created it as a good-faith effort to document a local place that really does not seem notable. About 300 google hits, mostly mentioned by former campers or local listings; no non-trivial unique coverage. Opabinia regalis 01:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It is a legitimate, public place. No reason it shouldn't have a short article in wikipedia. --Lee Vonce 17:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That something exists isn't necessarily an indicator that it belongs in wikipedia.--Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 00:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -fails all WP:NOTE guidelines, and on top of that (and most importantly) has no hope of every achieving any of them. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 00:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It sounds like its a permanent kind of thing known about by hundreds of people - I'd say its notable enough. GB 01:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That something "sounds" notable does not make it notable. Lots of stuff is "known about" by way more than hundreds of people but that does not, in itself, make it notable nor does it make potential notability automatically verifiable. --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 06:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
