Seems to fail WP:NORG. There is one good source -- [1], but the rest are mere lists of various family history societies, or mere mentions, or ones with questionable independence. My name isnotdave ( 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)
