Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC:
- The 2007 Deseret Morning News Church Almanac listed in the article presumably provides some coverage, but multiple, independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage are required, not just one.
- The remaining sources in the article are primary or unreliable, which do not establish notability.
- WP:BEFORE searches are only providing name checks and a couple of faint passing mentions in rs. North America 1000 08:30, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete as subject does not meet WP:GNG, and consensus is that LDS leaders are not presumed notable (see discussions in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). Sources in article are not independent (Liahona, Ensign, and an almanac branded as Deseret News but actually assembled by Church News staff) or not reliable ("Grampa Bill"). Search finds passing mentions in routine coverage of church announcements and events, and some quotes without any additional analysis. It doesn't add up to significant coverage of the subject. Open to alternatives if significant coverage emerges. Bakazaka ( talk) 06:10, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
