WP:BEFORE source searches are not providing significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. This subject does not meet WP:BASIC. The subject has been a co-author of some academic work that has been cited, but the citation rate is rather low at 55 for one paper, and more impressive at 489 for another; the subject has an H-index of 2 (link). Overall, it does not appear that WP:NACADEMIC is met. North America1000 15:50, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Not first or last author, so even those citations don't really count. Probably family memorial page. Definitely fails academic criteria. PainProf (talk) 02:35, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I agree with PainProf that middle author on a paper with moderately high citations (but without much other paper output) is not a pass of WP:NPROF.  He's also a coauthor of The Evolution of Modern Vascular Surgery, which has at least one review .  One book is not generally a pass of WP:NAUTHOR.  The combined case still seems to me to be a ways away from being sufficient to keep. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:38, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PROF, WP:NAUTHOR, and WP:CLERGY. Based on what's discussed above, he just hasn't' had an impact in the literature. He also hasn't held a named chair at a major research university. Co-writing a single text book is not sufficient unless it's been used and reviewed widely. Finally, being "President" of a "stake" is not a high clerical position in the LDS; it's roughly equivalent to a being Dean or Monsignor in liturgical Christian churches.
