A proposed deletion on this article has been removed, as I feel this should go thru a full wp:AFD if this article is to be deleted. The concern listed was "Scholarly organization with no significant claim to Notability and all readily available sources mentioning the project are internally produced at BYU." As worded here, this is not correct, as I quite easily & quickly was able to find at least one paper about the project that was published externally from BYU:

Ryskamp, George R. (2008), "European Emigration Records, 1820-1925", in Hedegaard; Melrose, Elizabeth Anne (eds.), International Genealogy and Local History: Papers presented by the Genealogy and Local History Section at IFLA General Conferences 2001-2005, International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, ISBN 978-3-598-22036-4 {{citation}}: Unknown parameter |editor1-first1= ignored (help)

Yes one could quibble in this example that Ryskamp is a BYU Professor, but the concern list above is about publications produced internally to BYU, which this is not. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:02, 15 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
