Randy Cooke

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

Fails WP:BIO. No evidence of sources to support the general notability guidelines or WP:ENT. No matches in Google News and nothing significant in Google Books apart from one non-circular mention that does not demonstrate 'significant impact'. The article has been around waiting for improvement for 4 years and still relies on a myspace profile, it seems unlikely that independent primary sources will be added in the near future to address these issues.

Note Some potential sources have been mentioned at the article's talk page. The editor who added those has told me (in IRC) that he is going to get some newspaper/magazine references to add to that list, but he needs to find the hard copies for the details. I make no comment on the suitability or otherwise of the sources -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:29, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Looking at the sources mentioned on the article talk page, several are from non-RS sites. I am not convinced that Cooke meets the requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia at this time -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I did find a mention of him in a Reliable Source, the Toronto Star, but I don't think that's enough to qualify him as notable. --MelanieN (talk) 14:00, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per MelanieN and WP:GNG. tedder (talk) 14:46, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He seems to get regular gigs but hasn't won any awards or done anything else notable. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Randy+Cooke&fulltext=1 Yours, GeorgeLouis (talk) 15:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
