PROD challenged by creator. Article is about a non-notable mid-level leader in the LDS Church. He is an "area seventy", which is not even a full-time ecclesiastical position. They work on a volunteer part-time basis; there are a few hundred in the world, and they get rotated every 5 years or so (i.e. it is not a life-tenured position). I would venture to say he's not even notable within the LDS Church. Currently, the only references in this article are to official publications of the church or to publications that are published by an entity that the church owns. (The Church News is published by Deseret Morning News, which is owned by the LDS Church.) There is a link to a BYU Hawaii page where he's listed as an award winner; BYU Hawaii is a university owned by the LDS Church. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
