 * Keep. John Walsh has written widely on many topics related to Mormonism, such as relations to African Americans.  Just because he is most noted in relation to the YFZ ranch incident does not mean that is the only place where he has recieved notice.John Pack Lambert 05:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The fact that he has only been noticed over this denotes non notability. Perhaps you can cite specifically how he passes WP:GNG and WP:ONEEVENT or even WP:AUTHOR? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 06:00, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Two major news sources already, which is perfectly fine for a stub like this. Jclemens (talk) 17:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep It looks possible that he is notable due to his writings, independent of his news coverage. I see articles of his published or linked to on a variety of websites.  If someone could find independent in-depth coverage discussing him as a writer, I'd gladly change to "keep". -Verdatum (talk) 17:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If he has writtne widely, perhpas some one can add details of where. As a non-LDS, I do not feel concerned about this reputation personally.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom as WP:ONEEVENT. Both cites are from one month, April 2008, shortly after the event.  One of the cites is an interview by Fox News, not exactly a reliable source.  If someone can find more, which are reliable and of more recent vintage, and add them to the stub, I'll change my mind.  Everybody knows I'm an inclusionist and I'm open-minded.
