Subject does not meet WP:BASIC. Source searches per WP:BEFORE are not providing adequate sources to qualify an article; just passing mentions and name checks. The article itself is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which do not serve to establish notability. North America1000 15:59, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - does not meet WP:BASIC ("People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject") - however, it could be argued that becoming a general authority of The LDS Church is a "significant award or honor" and being a general authority constitutes a "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" under WP:ANYBIO - but I think we have to go with WP:GNG here and presume the subject is not notable in the absence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - Epinoia (talk) 02:41, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
