Notables must have Wikipedia articles AND reliable sources
Your recent edits to Bethlehem Township, New Jersey, Hampton, New Jersey and North Hunterdon High School have added Daryl Cobb as a notable. Wikipedia policy on including people in such lists specifies that such individuals have a Wikipedia article *AND* reliable and verifiable sources demonstrating a connection to the place / school. Cobb has no such article. As such, these entries will be removed. Alansohn (talk) 18:54, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

The page for Wikipedia is in review and I also linked source material such as news articles and author website. I am new to this so I am not sure what other verification this need. Do I need to go to the schools and boro of Hampton to tax records and school transcripts.

This article is just one that I posted that tie Mr. Cobb into Hunterdon County. It also would have been nice for you to have contacted me first before deleting it all.

Hunterdon County Democrat By Hunterdon County Democrat on March 27, 2010 at 9:20 PM 0 After 34 years, children’s author Daryl Cobb will be returning to Hampton Public School on April 8 with his educational assembly “Teaching Through Creative Arts.” This interactive educational program takes students through the creative process of writing. In 1976, Cobb graduated from Hampton Public School. Today, he is the author of eight popular children's books, including the Bill the Bat series. Cobb was one of five children, all boys, and spent most of his childhood in Hampton, were he dreamed of playing big league baseball and has many fond memories of his days spent in this small town. “Going back to Hampton School is really like going back home, and it will be both exciting and sad for me at the same time, with so many years having passed by,” Cobb said. “Growing up in a small town like Hampton was always interesting; there were a lot of kids around at the time so there was always something going on, from pick-up basketball and baseball games to Frisbee on the school’s front lawn. “My best friend lived right across the street from my house and we were always making big plans for our futures, but I never dreamed that I would be writing books for children. This was a talent that I discovered after my son Cameron was born, and I really owe my success to my children because without their inspiration I would not have discovered this beautiful world.” Cobb’s newest book, “Do Pirates Go To School?,” will be released in early May.


 * I see that you're working on an article about Cobb in your sandbox. Wikipedia's notability guideline specifies that a subject is notable if it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I'm not sure that Cobb has met that standard, and the article in the Hunterdon County Democrat is a puff piece that doesn't appear to be the kind of significant coverage that policy requires.In terms of sources to add Cobb to an article for a place or school, the source needs to be clearly about him and his connection. So the Hunterdon County Democrat source would connect him to Hampton, while a yearbook can be anyone with the same name, and there is no source regarding his residence in Bethlehem Township. Alansohn (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

So the fact that he has 17 published books, Kirkus Reviews confirms and reviewed. Doesn't make him notable for the peadunk town of Hampton, NJ Population 1350. or even Hunterdon County for that matter. He is listed with the Society of Children's Writer's & Illustrators as a New Jersey Author. If he is from Hampton then he is from Hunterdon County. If he graduated from Hampton in 76 then he would have gone to High School at North Hunterdon. There is no other Daryl Cobb in that school. There are also other new articals online about Mr. Cobb. He is also in his 50s so finding school records other than linkedin or facebook on-line placing him at North Hunterdon High School are not going to be there. Maybe I should contact Mr. Cobb and have him scan, his tax records onto his website.

CLINTON -- Local children's book author Daryl Cobb will release the latest book in the adventures of Bill the Bat at the end of this month. Mr. Cobb brings together the whole bat family in Bill the Bat Baby Sits Bella, celebrating the eighth book in this series of picture books for children.

Bill the Bat introduces children to bats in a nonthreatening way through a cartoon bat who sports a sonar headset, aerial goggles and a scarf. Bill the Bat Baby Sits Bella shows children a positive bond between siblings and the importance of family.

Mr. Cobb presents educational shows to schools and libraries, and will soon be seen at East Amwell Township School, the High Bridge Library, Milford Preschool and Clinton Preschool.

Mr. Cobb is a part of 10 To 2 Children's Books Helping Hands program, a community service program that is meant to help children and families through creative arts. Mr. Cobb's music and story time show was donated to more than 20 organizations last year, including YMCA's Child Learning Center. Information on Mr. Cobb's books, school assembly program, music, story time shows and charity work can be found at www.darylcobb.com or contact 10 To 2 Children's Books at P.O. Box 5173, Clinton 08809.
