The WikiProject Latter Day Saint Notability guide is intended to provide recommendations regarding the notability of topics and figures within the scope of the project.

In general

In general, a Latter Day Saint related topic is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, including primary sources. In particular, a topic will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if it meets the following conditions:

1. Is mentioned in multiple reliable secondary sources.

2. Is mentioned in sources independent of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

For example: Some meetinghouses are mentioned throughout Church newsroom (newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org), but since that is primary source with direct ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, other independent sources are needed for those meetinghouses to qualify as notable.
