Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. The entire article is based upon two primary sources and an unreliable source. WP:BEFORE searches for independent, reliable sources are only providing quotations from the subject, which are primary in nature, and brief, fleeting mentions, which are not significant coverage.

 * Delete The only Google news results I see are just quoting him about something, not talking about him.  D r e a m Focus  17:22, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Community consensus is that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG (see examples in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). Some do, but this one does not. Sources in text are from the church PR office's international magazine Liahona, the subject's corporate bio at the church's website, and the very dedicated self-publisher "Grampa Bill", so they are either not independent or not reliable. Search in newspaper/periodical databases finds routine announcements and quotes reprinted from church PR material, with subject in the role of "second person in list of people at temple opening" or "LDS church leader who provided a quote that LDS stuff is good". So, does not meet WP:GNG. Readers can find his bio on the church's website without Wikipedia's help. Open to reconsideration if significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources emerges.
