Non-notable subject that fails WP:BASIC, as per source searches. Also, the sources in the article are primary, and do not serve to establish notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:06, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added the information on the Copley/Colesville interations to the article on Joseph Knight, Sr. So I am neautral on needing this article since it seems that the Coplye/Colesville interaction is the most notable facet of Copley. There remains an issue of weather all people mentioned in the Doctrine and Covenants merit articles in Wikipedia. It is a harder question than with other works of scripture, since these people are more contemporary than in most works of scripture, have undisputed historicity, but often the mention in that book may not define them much.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:20, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete but don't salt the earth. This is a poorly written article but the subject is notable. However, the article as is doesn't cover everything about him. If the article is restarted from scratch it could pass guidelines and not be renominated for AfD.

Keep - I'm finding plenty of sources. No dedicated biography, sure, but this seems like a historical figure that participated in notable events reported in numerous historical works. Daask (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
