Most sources currently in article are not independent under  (''Liahona'', lds.org, ''Church News'' reprinted verbatim in ''Deseret News'') that do not count toward establishing notability. (Note that the previous AfD failed to account for the fact that some ''Deseret News'' coverage is simply reprinted ''Church News'' and therefore not independent even though ''Deseret News'' sometimes produces independent coverage.)

A sensible alternative to deletion is to redirect to List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where information on the subject already exists. Open to alternatives if in-depth coverage emerges
