[edit] Family History Society

Family History Society (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced listcruft, almost entirely red-linked, and unlikely to become anything else. ^demon[omg plz] 18:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete the links, but keep and expand. Family history societies are important in the hobby and profession of genealogy. I would suggest moving it to Family history society, though. Corvus cornix 19:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete any information that might be in this article would be better served in Geneaology. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 21:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article certainly needs expanding, but these are organizations which, while individually quite small, in the UK alone have a combined membership of probably getting on for 100,000. By all means delete the links to those without a page on WP. And BTW, the listing is not unsourced - there are links to definitive sources at the foot of the page. --Pfold 10:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve (if possible). Jeff Knaggs 10:27, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a relevant class of associations, and can be discussed further. The term is generic, and I the title should be Family history society to avoid the impression it is about a specific one. The links are appropriate--a list of noteworthy societies, probably many of which could be turned into articles.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 01:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. Most of these societies are quite notable in their own right as organisations, some of them having international membership. And I agree with the unsigned comment above, that if the redlinks were blue, there would be no question as to their existence. -- Roleplayer 18:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
