Article fails WP:BIO (no notable award or wide contribution; does not meet creative professional criteria), WP:RS (cites an unpublished family history, an obituary with no author indicated, and a book he edited), and likely WP:COI per Close relationships since the principal editor of the article has not really edited any pages other than this one (sorry if false accusation, but just presenting the evidence). Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a directory of genealogical entries. City editor does not seem to be notable and mission president is not notable enough alone for Wikipedia entry. No other articles link to this one. Eustress (talk) 22:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I feel this is a valid and well-researched article about a noted journalist, LDS church leader and nationally published author. Those who dispute the references and citations have not listed any specific facts or claims that they feel to be unsupported or untrue. As for WP:BIO and WP:NOT, the subject is a well-known journalist and author who was the city editor of a major metropolitan newspaper (the SLC Deseret News), and an important LDS church leader. As for WP:COI there is absolutely no conflict of interest and this is, as Eustress suggests, a false accusation. I feel that prejudice more of a part in this than does the reliability of my information. Pbsolomon (talk) 17:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
