List of genealogy publications

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list of non-notable publications is just a collection of external links. It's like a web-directory. Damiens .rf 21:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Absolutely true, this fails WP:NOTDIR. It's fixable by normal editing, though; an article with this title could exist (along the lines of List of physics journals).— S Marshall  T/C 22:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It isn't "fixable by normal editing" if there are no genealogy publications notable enough to have articles. No prejudice to re-creation if articles are created and deemed notable, however. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 23:32, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Individual items on a list don't have to be notable enough to have articles. The relevant guideline is WP:CLN, and specifically WP:AOAL point #8.— S Marshall  T/C 14:21, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * However, if none of the items are notable enough to have an article, this is a strong indication that the page is functioning as nothing but a linkfarm. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's absolutely true. It's a linkfarm.  This needs to be fixed by normal editing.— S Marshall  T/C 00:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
