Non-notable subject that fails WP:BASIC. This source listed in the article provides some information, but multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one.

The second listed source in the article is from the Encyclopedia of Latter-Day Saint History, which is a primary source, because it is published by the Deseret Book Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, which is wholly owned by the LDS Church. Primary sources such as these do not serve to establish notability.

Assorted WP:BEFORE searches have turned up little other than name checks, which is not significant coverage. North America1000 06:05, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Lack of significant reliable source coverage to establish notability under WP:GNG. PohranicniStraze (talk) 06:12, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep We have two sources, the biogrpahical encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History that are indepdent of the subject, especially considering the second was published nearly a century after his death. Beyond that the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saints history was written and edited by respected academics, and to exclude it as a source purely based on its publisher makes no sense at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment – a book published by a publisher that is owned by an LDS-related holding company, the latter of which is wholly owned by the LDS Church equates to a primary source, in my opinion. It's also important to keep WP:SPIP in mind, some of which is listed below. North America1000 02:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * "The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter."

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
