I get the push to remove this article and I understand the need to keep Wikipedia on target, but I would appeal to a recent article in The New York Times about the gaping disparity in profiles for men versus women. Allred spent five years as the number two leader of an organization of more than 7 million women. She may not have yielded the appropriate press coverage, but we start to get into a chicken-and-the-egg scenario where Wikipedia can improve exposure to garner more coverage. Allred is a woman, a person of color, and from a small nation. Whatever your eye-rolling thoughts of people of her religion, I think a well-written and arguably sourced article might move Wikipedia in the right direction. Please forgive my inexperience with Wikipedia--I'm still learning. Fullrabb (talk) 14:56, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. One of the many LDS articles being pushed on Wikipedia. No notability for GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete. Only trivially mentioned in 2 sources and work/position not notable per se. Agricola44 (talk) 15:05, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - run of the mill missionary and speaker, something every Mormon must do. No significant coverage outside of LDS materials. Bearian (talk) 23:07, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a member of the church pertaining to this article, I understand the push for more coverage. However, as significant coverage does not exist in independent, reliable sources, the individual fails WP:GNG. Rollidan (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
