[edit] Serbian Genealogical Society

Advertisement plain and simple, no room for improvement since its not a notable society Mike _{(T C)} 04:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:SPAM and WP:N. Royboycrashfan 05:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - Part of me is struggling with this. While this article is clearly not up to snuff and contains questionable elements, I'm not so sure it ought to be deleted outright. What makes this society any less notable than a lot of the others under the Genealogical societies category? It certainly gets enough google hits, although a big strike against it is that I couldn't find it on Cyndi's List. I support giving this article a chance. If it doesn't improve, it could always be nominated for deletion again. Fluit 07:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Very Weak Keep. Per Fluit. Paul Cyr 07:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. It can always be created again with decent content. Eusebeus 10:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Per Fluit. --estavisti 11:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Fluit. As an organization, as noteworthy as other genealogical societies, but the "our national heritage" stuff has to go. ProhibitOnions 13:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Eusebeus. I was the one who left the message about it and left the notice on WP:AN, and removed all the links to it from ca. 50 articles. I also did some Google investigation. It has some 15000 GHits in English version; the problem is, first few hundreds are various business, web and similar directories. IOW, the Internet is flooded about it in the same way like Wikipedia is.
  Now, about the notability: they seem have just enough notability to be on Wikipedia; e.g. their Heraldic section seems to be semi-officially in charge for designing & approving coats of arms of Serbian municipalities. However, I'd prefer it to be deleted and recreated with decent context (with creator spanked) than to be improved (well, maybe I'm biased but I'd like some kind of revenge for my wasted time :-) ). The point is, no one really cares about them. Duja 14:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Plainly the article could use a rewrite, but the case for outright deletion is unconvincing. RGTraynor 15:41, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
