Only one source in the article. Not notable; Cooke did not ride on a World Tour team or compete in a World Championship/Olympics. Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 02:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep One ref does not equate to non-notable. Suggest the nominator withdraws this and reads WP:BEFORE.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:05, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes notabilty. --Old Time Music Fan (talk) 20:56, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, as Lugnuts  says, only one ref does not equate to non-notable. (if so, a million articles should be deleted) Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 09:11, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
