Derek Cooke

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a Superintendent ranked RCMP officer, of which there are quite a few in every region. The article consists of a list of every time his name was mentioned in the news while he was doing his job. I see nothing notable about him except for Ref 2 where he was mentioned in relation to Tara Teng, a brush with greatness that conferred BLP worthy status on him.

 * Delete I was wondering what on Earth possessed him to create this. Then I read the final sentence of this nom. I cannot believe this guy (nor the fact he got off without a block). His obsession with Teng sets off very loud alarm bells in my head. This police officer just isn't notable by any reasonable standard. AusLondonder (talk) 00:32, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete It appears that Mr Cooke has had a successful career as a police officer, but I don't think that WP:N is met as the references appear to be about cases and incidents he was involved in rather than about him per-se. Nick-D (talk) 00:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - There coverage in all the sources is passing mentions only, not enough for WP:GNG. Doesn't meet WP:ANYBIO either. Sarah-Jane (talk) 11:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
