No indication of notability. All referenes are either press releases (sometimes republished) or trivial passing mentions that do not cover Cobb in any detail. I removed some of the blatantly promotional content, but the rest would still need to be rewritten even if Cobb were notable. Huon (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

After conducting research I have found several media outlets that have significant coverage of Cobb speaking on behalf of the State Agency the employs him. He has been found to speak in place of the actual commissioner of that agency. I feel this displays a notable community presence as a community servant. Along with being awarded out of all state law enforcement. It is my opinion that his public standing to include being a racing figure is worthy of notability.

 * Don't Delete notable, I find notability in the subject and person through a community standing and national standing. Press releases and reposts are out there however a lot of validity is as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.95.167.174 (talk) 18:57, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. He competed in obscure circuits and, not surprisingly, hasn't gotten any significant press. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:09, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. If he was able to be a teammate to a World of Outlaws champion, which is verifiable through press, he is notable. With complete knowledge of the World of Outlaws that is no easy feat and would not happen to a non notable driver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.95.6.131 (talk) 12:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as not only is none of this establishes convincing information for the applicable notability, none of the listed information and sources then suggest guaranteed substance; the Keep votes above even themselves state "With complete knowledge of the World of Outlaws that is no easy feat and would not happen to a non notable driver" or "although there may be PR, there's validity as well". None of that outweighs the facts of what is needed for a confirmed acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  01:04, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
