From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This Family History Research Wiki article has been challenged as not meeting the general notability guidelines (significant coverage in reliable and independent sources).

I believe the Family History Research Wiki is well and significantly covered in independent sources. By independent I mean sources created by people who are not employees of FamilySearch, while invited to speak at FamilySearch organized conferences, or on any committees associated with this Wiki. Nevertheless, Wiki contributors may be among the authors of some of the following.

Please consider the following citations as part of the evidence of significant coverage in reliable and independent sources:

Books

Dunn[1], Helm and Helm[2], Kennett[3], McCullough[4], Tanner[5]

Periodicals

Crossroads[6], Searchers and Researchers[7], Voices of the Past[8], Sedgwick County News[9], The Echoes[10], and Genealogy Updates for VGS[11]

Blogs

Class material

Online articles

Because of these and other sources, I believe the Family History Research Wiki has general notability. Diltsgd (talk) 17:02, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
