Just like any other clerk in thousands of court halls, not notable. iMahesh ( talk ) 08:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete To be honest, I think this would qualify for an A7 speedy - there doesn't seem to be a claim of significance in the article. The closest it comes to making such a claim is the assertion that he's the clerk at a county court, but that isn't a position that automatically confers notability. The content of the article isn't even supported by the only source (a local newspaper recording the fact of his appointment) - the article describes him as a politician and a republican, but the source describes him as an attorney, and gives no indication of his political stance.

 * Comment Hi, can I go ahead and close this as a delete? Or should we be waiting for other's view on this? --iMahesh ( talk ) 08:45, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Now the discussion has started, better just to let it run out - perhaps someone will uncover a trove in reliable, independent sources giving the subject significant depth of coverage (but I doubt it). Girth Summit  (blether)  11:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll note that I did just discover that the entirety of the article apart from its one-sentence lead was copy/pasted from this site. I've removed some stuff and rev deleted the earlier versions. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete non-notable court clerk, fails GNG. (Please wait for an administrator to close this after a week.) SportingFlyer  T · C  09:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete: Based on A7. Easy speedy deletion based on no information found or any claim of significance in the article. Nagol0929 (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, no opinion on whether it's speediable or needs AFD. County clerk is not an "inherently" notable level of office that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia in and of itself, and one hit of purely local coverage in the local media announcing his appointment is nowhere near enough coverage to claim that he would pass WP:GNG instead of having to satisfy any SNGs.

 * Delete: Only notable on a local level. No indication of notability outside of Lake County. He certainly fails WP:GNG. FatCat96 (talk) 02:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Given that he holds an appointed position and is not elected, Cooney might not even be notable on a local level. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
