Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Beach Bunny Swimwear ↗

{{Quote box|quote=If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article ↗.You may want to consider using the Article Wizard ↗ to help you create articles.|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on :Beach Bunny Swimwear ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here ↗.   Talpatra (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

How dare you convert an article (Lotus throne ↗) to the appalling sfn style, in total breach of WP:CITEVAR ↗, ''without leaving any hint of of what you are doing in edit summaries''. This is seriously bad behaviour, & you should be blocked. Johnbod (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|Johnbod}}, I suggest you read up on WP:NPA ↗. Your messages here and elsewhere are troubling; from what I can tel Evrik did what they felt was best for the article, which is perfectly acceptable. That you don't like it is not reason to insult them and threaten them with a block (which no admin would even consider anyway). Primefac (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm also puzzled as to what's so "appalling" about {{tl|sfn}}. It gives linkage from the cites to the refs, for one thing. If you object to the use of years, then that's {{tl|sfnp}} anyway, not {{tl|sfn}}. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Inquiry About Adding Camp Minsi to the Historically Notable Scout Camps Page

Hi Evrik,

I'm the historian for Camp Minsi ↗, a Scout camp in Pennsylvania, and I'd like to add it (or have it added) to the "Oldest Boy Scout Camps of the BSA" section of the Historically Notable Scout Camps ↗ page. However, I want to make sure it qualifies before making any changes. Are you the page owner? Camp Minsi has a long history but has moved locations a couple of times:

Founded in 1919: Camp Minsi was originally established along the banks of the Delaware River at the Delaware Water Gap.

First Move (1927): The original property was sold to another Scout council, forcing the camp to relocate to Lake Tobyhanna in the Poconos.

Second Move (1949): The Lake Tobyhanna property was also sold. However, the owner donated another piece of land at Lake Stillwater, also in the Poconos. The camp opened on that site in 1950, initially on the southern shore of the lake.

Current Facility (1957): The council raised funds to build the permanent camp facilities on the same property, which remain in use today.

Despite these moves, the camp has always been operated by the same council, with the same staff, and served the same Scouts throughout its history. While the land we occupy now has been in use since 1950, Camp Minsi was founded in 1919 and has maintained continuous operation.

Given this history, does Camp Minsi qualify for inclusion on the list? I’d appreciate your thoughts or guidance before proceeding. Thank you! Tbroke72 (talk) 22:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
