No global, general or independent notability and no reliable sources. Ros0709 (talk) 19:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - agreed with the above. --Descartes1979 (talk) 20:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - It doesn't seem like the LDS-related sources are independent of the subject. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, No one has demonstrated that any of the sources are related to the subject. None of them are controlled by Paul.  Meridian Magazine and Dialogue have absolutely no connection to Paul.Johnpacklambert (talk) 00:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe true, but you ignored the question of notability. --Descartes1979 (talk) 04:28, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete The sources appear to lack independence from the subject. The subject exists but lacks notability. notability --Stormbay (talk) 02:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sources that are independent of the subject do exist, so I don't think that's a concern. Notability is the real issue, and in this case I would say it's borderline. He's one of about 100 of the highest leaders in a church of about 13 million people and was the first Mormon to head missionary work in East Germany, which sways me to say he's notable enough. The article needs a good clean-up, of course. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Looks like a figure of marginal notability. I'm not really sure which side of the fence he belongs on.  But the Turkey stuff looks to not be reliably sourced, so it should be cut.  GRBerry 02:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Let's see if sufficient notability can be documented. Otherwise a delete or possible merge still seems to be the remedy. --Stormbay (talk) 03:41, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
