 * Merge into LDS, doesn't deserve more than a one line note about "The software XYZ is used to..." (if that). Delete if no consensus to merge. FT2 (Talk 20:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

 * (No vote). It's popular enough with amateur genealogists (of which my mom is one) that "PAF Files" are considered a standard when exchanging data, but I don't know how notable that makes it outside that area. It isn't only used by LDS members - LDS records and software are popular with amateur genealogists because they don't limit their research to members. It's mentioned on Genealogy software already. --Jamoche 05:26, 25 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, I added the article because I saw it referenced on message boards. There seems to be plenty of users and lots of outside references and Wiki pedia links. --Mfv2 22:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
