 * Delete No independent sources and doesn't seem to meet WP:NAUTHOR. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 21:55, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment It's hard to say what is a "third party source" or a "reliable source" in this case, because LDS is a particular community and all of the sources are within that LDS silo. I can find plenty of LDS publications that talk about him and his work, but I doubt there would ever be coverage of him in a non-LDS "mainstream" publication. If this article is kept, there are many more sources that can be added from within the LDS community. LaMona (talk) 00:51, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete The subject has many YouTube videos and much LDS promotional material but it strikes me as WP:SPIP - there are no reliable sources from people independent of the topic himself (as another editor called it "the LDS silo") that regard Bytheway as notable.

 * Delete - did a highbeam search, which gave about 50 mentions in Deseret News, which I do not consider neutral in this case, since he is a Deseret books employee. Also a mention in Knight Ridder 12 jan 2003 Standard-Examiner, Ogden, Utah, Business People Column, a tip from his book was in Rocky Mountain News, and his name is mentioned in US State News . One short mention, a tip and a name mention, in my opinion not enough reliable coverage. - Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 06:48, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
