After WP:BEFORE source searches, finding no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to qualify for an article per WP:BASIC notability standards. Independent sources are only providing passing mentions and name checks, along with quotations, the latter of which are primary in nature. Searches for book reviews have provided no evidence that WP:AUTHOR is met. Furthermore the article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, and one unreliable source, none of which confer notability per Wikipedia's standards. North America1000 03:36, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Community consensus is that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG (see discussions in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). This one does not. Cited sources are either not independent (Mormon Times, Liahona, Ensign) or not reliable (self-published "Grampa Bill"). Even more remarkable is that the included sources, while not independent, are mostly just passing mentions in job change announcements, one of which was cited to support a claim it did not even discuss. The article is basically just the corporate bio from LDS public relations. Independent reliable sources don't offer much either, as the subject is mentioned in passing (spoke at an event, changed jobs) or quoted without critical analysis. None of it is significant coverage of this subject. Some LDS leaders pass WP:GNG. This one does not seem to pass. Open to reconsidering if significant coverage of this subject emerges in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Bakazaka (talk) 20:43, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
