I don't see WP:SIGCOV or any coverage justifying notability; the article is littered with tags. Found this through the user Homepage feature, hence all the random edits. EF5 22:46, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

- I can see no evidence of WP:Notability and no citations to good secondary sources. On the face of it, it is hard to see how this article can be imporved enough to be retained. DELETE — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littenberg (talk • contribs) 00:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I managed to find a few references and news articles for other Camp Horseshoes in West Virginia and in Maryland but not for this Camp Horseshoe. Notability not established. Coldupnorth (talk) 11:11, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. It lacks reliable secondary sources. Many sections do not even have a single reference. Warriorglance(talk to me) 02:43, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

- Probably delete. I found two reliable secondary sources talking about PFAS in the water (Wisconsin Public Radio, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), and one about the basketball team (Chicago Tribune). The camp itself doesn't seem to be very notable. ~ Nikoledood (talk) 14:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete does not seem to be notable (Almost every camp sounds like this one). Also it uses it the website for the camp as a source. In my opinion this camp is just a normal local camp and should not be on here. Sheriff U3 23:27, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: My search did not yield any sources that are wholly independent of the subject or featured SIGCOV. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:53, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - The article lacks any sign of sources to verify its material and just sounds like a billboard for the subject then rather than an encyclopedic entry. I agree with all the points mentioned above, including its lack of notability. twisted. (user | talk | contribs) 11:39, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: agree with those above, have not found any sources to establish notability. --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 13:08, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Insufficient coverage by independent, reliable secondary sources to pass WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 13:25, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
