It is very likely that these webpages are the same as "fan" pages.  Created 
by one person, "local historian" or not, and therefore not to be considered 
a reliable source.

We do not credit webpages created by person who have not been previously 
published in a reliable third-party source.  That's been the policy for a long 
time now.  We carefully honed it to that point.  So you will have to show 
who is the actual author, since "the village" isn't an author.  And will have 
to show, if challenged, that this is not a personal website, masquerading 
as an authority on the village history.
