Genealogical association that fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG; deprodded by a SPA. There are three very similar articles in the same small local paper ([1], [2], [3]) and a few passing mentions in obituaries, but nothing else substantial. Note: I also recently started Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Debra Baird, about the head of this organization, but very different standards apply to each so it seems reasonable to keep them separate.

I do not agree with deletion. The group is valid and is an important part of the Scottish Clan system. Jcmullinax (talk) 03:51, 29 August 2020 (UTC) — Jcmullinax (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Comment could this be redirected along with other Scottish Clan pages into one page talking about all of them? Balle010 (talk) 05:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Balle010: Possibly? But at least this article is about a genealogical society for the clan, not the clan itself—Clan Baird was deleted for copyvio in 2009—and I don't see RS discussing the clan in the article at present. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:15, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay, then I'm good to go with Delete Balle010 (talk) 05:16, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Albannach1 (talk · contribs), whose only contribution thus far is the following, posted the message below on the talk page for this AfD. It is presumably a !vote to keep. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 20:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with nomination to delete. This organization is a genealogical society that has been around for 50 years and their published genealogical materials are available online publicly. They are attested to by public sources and as such this page should remain.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
