A mexican leader forgotten

My long standing disagreement with some editors on Wikipedia has reached a boiling point. The article on Benjamin de Hoyos has been nominated for deletion. I am very frustrated about this. I am even more frustrated at what other articles may be deleted if this deletion is successful. I still think all the general authority seventies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are default notable, but even a lower level cut off seems not to gain much support.

The article on Benjamin de Hoyos was not only supported by reference to the well researched Ensign and Church News articles. It was supported by coverage of actions of de Hoyos in such publications as the Salt Lake Tribune. This is a new throwing down of a guantlet. Indepth article coverage is now being claimed to have to have the person per se as the main subject, even when the person's actions are clearly the main focus.

Area Presidents take clear and unequivocal actions, and yet the situation is ignored. I am tired of finding sources and yet having them always denigrated and attacked. I am tired of an editor occasionally nominating for deletion 4 articles in a day that I created. I am tired of articles that survived deletion attempts two or three months ago getting renominated for deletion.

Wikipedia inclusion criteria are not in any way uniform. The fact that sourced to one blog articles on Catholic bishops, or sourced to one stat table articles on athletes sit for ages while my multi-source articles on general authorities are nominated for deletion is very, very frustrating.

I am really fearful the next nomination for deletion will be the article on Edward Dube.

I have poured out lots of energy to built these articles. Them constantly being nominated for deletion is very, very frustrating to me. It has been causing my blood to boil. I wish there was a way I could change the tide or at least stem the uneven application of notability guidelines.

Defending Oaks balanced calls

Here  https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2019/10/14/stuart-c-reid-oaks-does/  is a well balanced article written for the Salt Lake Tribune defending the teachings of President Dallin H. Oaks, specifically his well thought-out talk to the General Women's Meeting in General Conference. Reid presents a well reasoned argument. What he never deals with is the reasons behind Riess's hateful attacks on President Oaks for his talk. To understand what is fully going on one has to realize in the past Riess has attacked President Packer for his comments on LGBT issues in general conference. The best theory is that Riess is not in accord with or agreement with the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on sexuality. She should stop pretending, as she did with her earlier reactions to President Packer, and just admit that she does not view the leaders of the Church as inspired men, clearly does not believe the Book of Mormon is the revealed word of God in an

Suing the "Mormon Corporate Empire"

The misuse of courts has reached a new low. In a rambling and clearly unhinged suit someone has now tried to begin a class action lawsuit against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the grounds that it misrepresents its history for corporate gain. The suit claims that it is known that Joseph Smith did not translate the Book of Mormon from the gold plates and that it is known that Joseph Smith did not see God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ in the First Vision, but the Church tries to manipulate and downplay these facts. The problem for the suit is that it makes false claims on what is and is not known, and then outright lies about the implications. First off, the seeming main claim is that because at least some of the translation of the Book of Mormon was done by Joseph Smith looking in a seer stone in a hat it was not translated from the golden plates. This is a clear false claim. The belief of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that t

The first BYU grad

In my interview on Monday for a position at Hope Academy on the westside of Detroit, the principal who has been a school administrator for 30 years said I was the first person who had attended school at BYU, and in fact in Utah, he had ever interviewed. My main regret is that I said in explaining why I went to BYU that I was a Mormon instead of saying that I was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. President Nelson was correct when in his talk in Montreal he said we have a lot of work to do within the Church to change how we speak of the Church. I have already seen some people say that it cannot be done and that they will not even try. It can be done and it should be done. Will we end all uses of Mormon? Probably not. Should we cut back and refer to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in as many ways and by as many means as we can? Most defiately.
