This article has been improved by direct SOURCE citations to official INAH magazine articles on the subject matter and persons mentioned in the wiki article. Please see factual support from two articles on the Returned Treasures Program and its initial funding as reported in the official INAH magazine Cultural Agenda.

See also, SOURCE information on this topic matter from the relevant INHA Directorate, Dirección de Patrimonio Mundial, at http://www.gobiernodigital.inah.gob.mx/mener/index.php?contentPagina=14.

Also, a search on Google is not the equivalent of a science journal index sich as those from MacMillan/Pergamon Press; a Google search is merely preliminary and not indicative of anything (see, e.g., recent NY Times article on "deep web" searches and how Google does not find/webcrawl all websites and only indexes a small percentage of all webpages).

For example, try a Google search on the 1982 theft of a Maya codex from France's National Library and its continued possession by INAH over French government demands the codex be returned. Please let me know what you find since that well-known theft in the museum community only has ONE google entry in a NON-museum publication (brief mention in a law review article).

And, please note that INAH website itself does not report all of its activities and programs, no more than does any U.S> Museum, including the Getty (Los Angeles, CA), which has been plagued with scandal over looted antiquities it had to return to the country of origin (as well as misspending of Getty trust funds and sexual harassment of male and female staffers)

Proposed deletion of Returned Treasures Program

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Returned Treasures Program, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Likely a hoax, Google search only turned up this page, only source that mentions this program's existence is a blog, search of INAH official website didn't turn up the blog or the program.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I responded to your comments on Talk:Returned Treasures Program. To avoid duplicity, I will refer you to my comments there. In summary, thank you for correcting the issue raised by me and other editors. You handled it properly and much better than the majority of editors I've dealt with in the 2 months or so that I've been working with hoaxes and page deletions.

If you would like to continue discussing this matter please contact me on my talk page. Thank you. KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
