reviewing this batch... it was marked no extractable data. It appears to be a list of those severed from church membership... but it still has enough info to index the names and dates. Howver, no location was given... My question is should this have been indexed?

    Rule of thumb if it has names and dates, index it. This is yet another casualty of the infamous NED indexer that wont leave the project alone. It is from the Worcester church, your image here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK6-SHMR?i=1170&cat=960849, church name on img 1170

    @Dennis Yarrington I look for names and dates. If both are on a list then I index them. Local places are not needed necessarily because the project is already titled as from South Africa and will be posted as such on Family Search.

    @gary_noble I hadn't read the term NED before. Can you please advise?

    @gary_noble Sorry. I figured out what NED means. I am getting so many of them lately.

    @Mary Rice If you are reviewing and getting lots of NED with names and dates you can read, it could mean that other indexers are sending the batch back marked NED because the person doesn't know how to index that batch.
