Potential sources edit

To help establish notability, I thought I'd list some sources that I've either seen in citations or reviews but that I haven't found online copies of. If anyone has access to a better library than I currently and would like to try finding them and seeing what can be pulled from them, that would be great.

""Glory is a-comin' soon": A history of Mormonism in Indiana" by Martha Peterson Taysom
"Wending Our Way: A History of Mormonism in Kokomo and Howard County, 1846-1999" by Charles Noah Joray

If anyone finds any other potential sources that aren't online but hard copies may exist, please post them here. Thanks. --FyzixFighter (talk) 01:09, 27 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have access to a decent library and can get access to both. I will look into it. Rollidan (talk) 02:46, 27 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have added to the history section mostly using the Taysom book. I don't know about the Joray source but will look into it further. Rollidan (talk) 18:23, 27 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Source	Independent?	Reliable?	Significant coverage?	Count source toward GNG?
Source assessment table:
Taysom, Martha Peterson (1998). "Glory is a-comin' soon" : a history of Mormonism in Indiana	Independence of author and content.	Author is professor in the History department at Indiana University Bloomington. Not self-published	Entire book is about Mormonism in Indiana.	✔ Yes
Wren, Adam (17 July 2015). "Leap of Faith: Indiana's New Mormon Temple". Indianapolis Monthly	Independence of author and content.	Local newspaper in Indiana.	About 6 paragraphs about the Church in Indiana	✔ Yes
"Wending Our Way: A History of Mormonism in Kokomo and Howard County, 1846-1999" by Charles Noah Joray	Independence of author and content.	Does not appear to be self-published	? I think it is likely based on title and mention in other scholarly sources	? Unknown
Blair, Brian. "Growing in Faith", The Columbus Republic, 18 November 2016.	Independence of author and content.	Local newspaper in Indiana.	A few paragraphs of details about current an history of the church in Indiana	✔ Yes
Rudolph, L. C. "Hoosier Faiths : A History of Indiana Churches & Religious Groups", 1996.	Independence of author and content.	Published by the Indiana University Press.	Several pages giving an overview of church history in Indiana (pages 475 to 490)	✔ Yes
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

@Rollidan: Thanks for adding sources and checking the Taysom source! I added the table above to better assess the notability and I'd ask other editors to add to it (thanks again Rollidan) as other sources are identified. Based on the table, which lists 4 independent, non-trivial reliable sources currently in the article and a possible fifth existing source not yet used, I would argue the notability tag is no longer warranted and would recommend its removal. If people think otherwise, please indicate where the assessment is incorrect or how it does not meet GNG. I'm probably going to move on to the another one of these articles in the meantime. --FyzixFighter (talk) 14:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
