This is an essay not an encyclopedia article. None of the sources are about this topic, with each being used to back up a string of arguments used to make this article entirely from wp:or and wp:synth

If any books ABOUT Mormonism and authority come out, such an article should exist then. Big Money Threepwood (talk) 06:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Wikipedia:Blow it up and start over. There should be an article on this, but all the content here is SYNTH from primary sourcing or misuse of reliable second sources. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:00, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per TNT: mildly interesting essay as it stands, but not what Wikipedia's for. AryKun (talk) 17:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Draftify. The article as it now stands is undeniably an essay that needs to be completely rewritten. I recently acquired several excellent sources on this exact topic, and I will be working on this article as I can in order to improve it, but I do request that is not deleted until such changes are taken into consideration. As the OP hinted at regarding books, these include two books which I have added to the article. Rollidan (talk) 17:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment per others, I do not object to draftifying or WP:TNT and starting over. Rollidan (talk) 18:54, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Would a resolution be to move this article to Draft space where it can be improved over time?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify I'm inclined to support deletion because the article reads more like an essay, which doesn't fit within WP guidelines as outlined in WP:NOTESSAY. However, Rollidan has pointed out that there may still be a chance to improve the article. Ckfasdf (talk) 06:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Draftify, there may be a notable topic under there but TNT would likely be needed to find it. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:01, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
