Non-notable subject that fails WP:BASIC. Source searches provide no independent, significant biographical coverage in reliable sources, just quotations from the subject, passing mentions and name checks. The article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which do not establish notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:10, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete Sources in article are not independent (Church News, Liahona, lds.org) or are trivial coverage of church announcements (Deseret News). Search finds the subject named or quoted briefly in routine coverage of ceremonial functions like handing over a donation check or opening a temple, or as a trivial mention in the context of covering a large event with many speakers and quotes. It's not significant coverage of this subject. While some LDS leaders are notable under WP:GNG, this one is not. Open to alternatives if significant coverage emerges.
