Cook is only really notable as a defeated candidate for governor of Utah. Candidates for governor are not default notable, and the coverage of him does not rise above routine coverage. John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:27, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even pre-nomination there was a fair amount of routine coverage of him as a General in the Army Reserve (example: Fort Douglas' largest unit deactivated LaPlante, Matthew D. The Salt Lake Tribune [Salt Lake City, Utah] 06 June 2009., "Standing in the shadow of the Salt Lake City military facility's rustling cottonwood trees, 96th commander Maj. Gen. Peter Cooke said ..." yada, yada.[1]). There was also coverage of his activities as a real estate developer (example: Centerville, Consultants Rethinking Town's Center Loomis, Brandon. The Salt Lake Tribune [Salt Lake City, Utah] 24 Dec 1999: C3. " Developer Peter Cooke proposed 260 apartments on that property until more than 100 neighbors persuaded the Planning Commission to reject a zoning change..." yada, yada [2]) More like those came up on a Proquest archives search. point is, coverage of Cooke is not limited to 2012 nomination for governor. then there is the fact that this was a gubernatorial race. Statewide races not only producing coverage like that from which the page is sourced, they do confer a degree of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:44, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
