Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. The 2005 Deseret Morning News Church Almanac source listed in the article presumably provides some coverage, but there's no link to readily assess its depth. Importantly, multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one. Several assorted WP:BEFORE searches are only providing fleeting passing mentions and name checks in independent reliable sources. Other than the almanac source, the remaining sources in the article are all primary, and are not usable to establish notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:25, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, notability not established. Refs aren't independent or are local press. Szzuk (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:GNG lack of independent reliable sources covering the subject in great detail.--DBig Xrayᗙ 21:29, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Almanac is actually assembled by official Church News staff, so it's not independent. The other sources are either not independent (Church News, Ensign) or not reliable ("Grampa Bill"), so they don't count toward notability. The subject of this article gets mentioned in routine coverage of church announcements (e.g. appointments, retirements, etc), and was actually quoted twice (in American Banker and Albuquerque Journal) in the mid-1990s in his role as a bank executive, but it's not significant coverage of the subject. Does not seem to meet WP:GNG. Bakazaka (talk) 00:39, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
