drawing on the sources. The claim that
Balukoff has held various LDS "leadership positions" is not backed by one of the two sources linked. That source only says that he has a temple recomend, although the author of the article did not know LDS terminology enough to use the right term. While due to the nature of the LDS Church I highly suspect that Balukoff has held "leadership postions" I doubt they have even risen to the level of being one of the 30,000 or so leaders worldwide of congregations with average attendance of maybe 200 (it varies by congregation, some are very small, but very few over 300 and virtually none with over 400 attendance), who serve for an average of maybe 5 years. The 44 minute long pod-cast produced by a highly partisan group might have given more insight, but it does not count as a reliable source. Being a major party nominee for governor is not enough to make one notable, and nothing else about Balukoff is even close to showing notability.

Balukoff is not notable. Being a member of a school district board where the current enrollment is 26,000 (it seems to have been lower when
Balukoff was on the board) is not a sign of notability. Some of the other things in this article seem aimed at boosting the subject's notability without actually

of properly sourced evidence of preexisting notability. School board trustees do not get
Knowledge articles just for being school board trustees either, so that doesn't show any preexisting notability in and of itself. And when it comes to the sourcing, I see far too many

His press coverage as a losing candidate for
Governor of Idaho is not a sign of notability per site rules; it's possible he could be notable through his business career or through a position in the Democratic Party, but the article does not show this right now.
