Local history society that does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ORGCRIT. The below is a high-level analysis of sources present in the article at time of nom:

**Source assessment table:**
Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
Sources 1-4		~ Blogs and user sites	Basic listings	✘ No
Sources 6-7	WP:SELFPUB	WP:SELFPUB	?	✘ No
American Press article			~ Although this is predominantly coverage of the person, and notability is not WP:INHERITED, there is some SIGCOV of the society.	~ Partial
Sources 9-13	~ Varies	~ Varies	Many of these sources do not even mention the article subject; at best they are WP:PASSING mentions.	✘ No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Other coverage that I have been able to locate essentially falls into one of these same three categories: WP:ROUTINE mentions in genealogical material; WP:PRIMARY sources published by the org themselves - not an indicator of notability; and trivial mentions in sources concentrating on other subjects.

While this appears to be an active organisation, it also appears to be at best a case of WP:LOCALFAME. Triptothecottage (talk) 04:13, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agreed on the above assessment. Not a widely-known or widely-referred-to organization.
