Delete, articles one claim to notability is that there was a speech at his funeral by Joseph Smith with new doctrine for the church. Per my understanding this makes him notable for one thing and that while he might rate mention on that doctrines page nothing in the article in the article imho stated notability beyond this.

I would say that Brunson being a person who brought charges leading to Oliver Cowdery's excommunication justifies him having an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:19, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is defintely a interesting point. I'm going to think on that one for a little and if I agree I will withdraw, it's actually a good rationale. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 01:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Although I cannot find a vast amount of information on the subject, the two separate connections to Smith and Cowdery help him to squeak by WP:BASIC. Location (talk) 00:48, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
