AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non notable family organization. exactly the type of article that does not belong in an encyclopedia. Nobody not a member of the family would have any conceivable interest.  DGG ( talk ) 19:33, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete again as my searches found nothing convincingly better at all despite what the article currently seems, and there's thus nothing to suggest better especially considering the 1st AfD. SwisterTwister   talk  21:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Question: is the Belnap Family Organization article in the same situation as the Brough Family Organization? -- 155.95.90.245 (talk) 19:53, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This organization is of interest to people far beyond its worldwide membership. It is listed by FamilySearch.org as a prominent and exemplary family history association and FamilySearch patrons wanting to know more about such organizations are encouraged to consider its methods of research, publication and publicity.  (https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Create_and_Maintain_Family_Associations_or_Organizations).  This organization also has connections and mentions with renowned Brough Superior Motorcycles. (http://www.brough-superior.com/ws/frontend/seite/SeiteCms.php?coId=124&coType=navigation1).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.181.128 (talk) 23:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The Brough Family Organization is a well-known Mormon Family Organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mormon_family_organizations). The LDS Church News and Deseret News have published several articles about the activities of the Brough Family Organization.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.181.128 (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Family history has numerous organisations concerned with "one-name studies". I do not believe any are likely to be notable.  Furthermore, as with many societies, there is going to be great difficulty in getting independent source information.  The fact that a LDS publication refers to it probably merely means that LDS believe what the society says.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:03, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The Brough Family Organization (BFO) is a comprehensive ancestral family history organization and not just a "one-name studies" entity. Like any Wikipedia-listed business that produces recognizable products and has supportive patrons and relevant publicity, the BFO is an excellent and notable representative of family history activities, research techniques, publications and services.  As such it is worthy of being listed in Wikipedia.
