Delete. Unremarkable location used by an unremarkable company. --

Strong keep. If the claim only private seasonally occupied camp in Antarctica can be verified, then I'd say the location is distinctly notable indeed. -

It seems the
Patriot Hills was also the only private seasonally occupied camp in Antarctica. --

Yes, and they moved from one location to the other. Your point? And as Antarctic base camps, they should be inherently notable. -

Just a small point here: absolutely nothing is "inherently notable". Notability is a portmanteau of concepts related to verifiability, neutrality and sourcing; something which has no independent sources is not notable however interesting it might be. As an example, some believe all schools are inherently notable, but I went to one (state funded) school about which there is not one single available online source - it was open for only about ten years and closed with virtually no coverage. I can't even verify the spelling! So, let's not get carried away by what sounds notable, instead look at the actual objective evidence for notability, which probably does exist in this case. Guy (

Keep it is one of the few locations on Antarctica with a yearlong or seasonal human presence in a permanent or semipermanent camp.

Keep One of only a few outposts of mankind on the remotest continent on earth, covered in third-party sources. --

Keep has third party sources... its the only camp on the continant

Keep. I thought it was a bit short on third party sources so I added one. More would be helpful.
