(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article appears to be sourced only from publications associated with his position in the Mormon church. Neither a quick Google search nor a quick Google Books search turned up a lick of coverage that wasn't published by the LDS Church, which can't be considered an independent source in the context of an LDS official p b p 14:08, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He has a published obituary written by staff in the Deseret News. Their content is not directed by the Church. Beyond this, I have found references to Hill's position as director of the office of Coal Research, and since that was back in the 1970s, it is a bit much to assume that all such references will show up in a quick google search. If you search "George R. Hill" and coal on google, you will find multiple articles by Hill on the subject. Hill was also a member of the National Academy of Engineering. I am not sure how this is optained and whether it would cause him to pass the notability requirements for academics. I also found a Chemical and Engineering News article from 1973 on Hill.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep National Academy of Engineering membership is equivalent to National Academy of Sciences and therefore meets WP:ACADEMIC #3.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 17:36, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And a third-party source for this is here [1] in Chem. Eng. News, 1989, 67 (9), p 6 --Samuel J. Howard (talk) 17:39, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep He seems notable beyond the LDS faith, based on new links included in article and on this page. I dunno about NAE quite equaling NAS, but they were created by the same law.Bahb the Illuminated (talk) 10:56, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
