Subject does not meet WP:BASIC. Source searches are only providing quotations from the subject regarding religion and acting as a spokesperson (which are primary in nature), minute passing mentions and name checks. The article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which are not usable to qualify notability. No significant coverage in independent, reliable sources appears to exist.

 * Keep -- General authorities in LDS are like bishops in the Catholic Church. Wikiproject religion considers bishops in the Catholic Church and analogous churches to be notable per WP:BISHOPS.  Note that LDS bishops are not automatically notable per this guideline, but LDS general authorities are not bishops, as stated. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:15, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment – WP:BISHOPS is an opinion essay ; it is not a guideline or policy at all. There is no presumed notability for religious subjects on English Wikipedia whatsoever. North America1000 18:04, 31 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete as failing the basic notability criteria. Agree with NA1000 about the essay and on top of that this is a random use of it because it does not mention the general authorities and as such is a Synth by the keep !voter. --Dom from Paris (talk) 19:32, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:BASIC and WP:GNG are not satisfied. WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing, and the references in the article are either passing mentions, barely connected to the subject or dead links. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 00:48, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
