:*Keep seems many people find a lot of these ski resorts notable, so I will focus on culling only the very small, obscure and unpopular resorts. C5mjohn 18:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Almost all ski areas meet the notability standard, since they are covered in multiple, reliable secondary sources, e.g. Ski and Skiing magazines, plus local and regional newspapers with large circulations. It is simply a matter of someone doing the legwork needed to dig up these sources, which are not always sitting online. There is no need to serially list one ski area after another at AfD. Our efforts would be better spent locating the sources and improving the articles than having AfD debates about them. --Seattle Skier (talk) 08:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep A regionally well-known ski resort that receives thousands of visitors each winter should be notable. In my opinion the size of a major ski resort's operation sets it apart from a restaurant or a small business; it's more akin to a theme park. Propaniac 14:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

:Comment Also, if we're going to have to discuss every single ski resort listed on Wikipedia, I do wish someone would have just bundled them together instead of everyone (including myself) duplicating their remarks from the two other discussions and presumably to any further such discussions.

::Comment Then the article should be sure to add proof that they recieve "thousands of visitors each winter" because some of the them might only get hundreds (because they might be very high class or just not popular) And I don't want to bundle all the ski resorts together because there are probably world renowned ones that ARE notable.

  • Strong keep - The nominator seems to be putting ski area up for deletion as a matter of course. This may be a small ski area (compared to other areas such as Vail Ski Resort and Killington Ski Resort), but it is not a small business. More sourcing is needed, but as for usage: This place is open 70 - 100 days a years and for most of that it is getting hundreds of visitors a day. As for WP:CORP, I have seem numerous articles on this area in the Washington Post and local magazines such as the Washingtonian. --EMS | Talk 18:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
