User:DavidLeeLambert/LDSLeadersNotability

Different churches have different structures, which sometimes makes it hard to apply the general notability guidelines to people and other topics associates with them. Furthoermore, people who have any interest in all about a church often have stong opinions about it, which makes it hard to have a properly netral discussion, especially on a rolling article-by-article basis.

Regarding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I personally feel that all of the following people should be notable:

* Every Prophet * Every member of the Quorum of the Twelve * Every Presiding Bishop * Every President of the Salt Lake Temple * Every member of the female general auxilary presidencies (Relief Society, Young Women, Primary) * The first President of each Large Temple * The first Stake President of the first Stake in each State (Michigan, Scotland, Saarland, etc.) or nation

Quorum of the Twelve
As a consequence of the notability guidelines for politicians, every member of the House of Representatives represents on average about 750 thousand people. By contrast, each member of the Quorum of the Twelve would "represent" 1.1 million members if they were divided equally between them.

General Auxilary Presidencies
By the same logic, each member of the General Relief Society Presidency "represents" over 2 million people. I don't have a detailed breakdown of church's demographics handy, but under my conservative rough assumptions (evenly distributed population from 0 to 100) each member of the other female General Auxilary presidencies "represents" close to 500 thousand. That's less than a current congressperson, but more than the mean district popluation of 345 thousand in 1950.
