Promotional article. Not seeing how the subject passes WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Edwardx ( talk) 14:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- I apologize for the issues. As a very novice content creator, I'm not versed in the policies yet; would you please provide guidance on how I can make sure it is in compliance with GNG and BIO, so it can stay active? I'm happy to hear any advice you have 12.163.219.138 ( talk) 15:17, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you. This process will last for seven days, and anyone can contribute to the discussion. As you are apparently being paid for your time here (I am not), I suggest you read WP:COI, and then WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Then try to find in-depth coverage of the subject in reliable sources (see WP:RS) and suggest appropriate revisions at Talk:Rodney Mims Cook Jr. or contribute here with two or three sources (max) that you believe demonstrate notability.

- Comment There are already several sources in the References section, but it looks like some of the links may be old; I'll submit an edit request to update those in a bit, but for now I've found the following:
- https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/0407/104.html#64394e862374 (the Forbes article "Arc de Dixie", Reference number 8, from Forbes.com. Article dated 2008)
- https://www.wabe.org/atlanta-park-confederate-major-and-struggle-history/ (WABE article, Reference number 13, dated 2017)
- https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2017/09/06/twenty-years-laterprincess-dianna-s-legacy-lives.html (BizJournals article and slideshow on the Prince of Wales' Foundation for Architecture's World Athletes Monument, dated 2017)
- I would be happy to find further sources at need, but these cover some of Mr. Cook's activities as detailed in the article - 12.163.219.138 ( talk) 16:42, 27 September 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.163.219.138 ( talk) 16:37, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - (updated after additional sources found) - Two reliable sources with sufficient depth-of-coverage; New York Times and Forbes. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep seems like a clear Keep based on a source search. I have trimmed many bytes of promotional and unsourced material. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 18:18, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
