Ormskirk & District Family History Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to fail WP:NORG. There is one good source --, but the rest are mere lists of various family history societies, or mere mentions, or ones with questionable independence. My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 17:49, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, though no doubt a hardworking and useful organisation for people researching their family history in west Lancashire. Article relies entirely on O&D FHS sources to support it. The one obvious independent source (West Lancs Buzz) is simply a very local website of a volunteer charity. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. Sionk (talk) 21:51, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Such family history societies (of which there are dozens) no doubt do good work in transcribing records, but they are generally NN organisations. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
