Cohee served as chair or the Arkansas GOP for a total of nine months and never held an office that would grant notability per WP:NPOL. The only references used are untitled and unlinked local newspaper articles, his family-published obit, an obit in a local newspaper, election results, and an entry for someone with a tangential relation to Cohee in the Encyclopedia of Arkansas.

Delete More non-notable Bill Harthon nonsense. He likely plagiarized from the unlinked sources. 💵Money💵emoji💵^💸 15:46, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Money emoji: There's likely a lot more of these to come as I was unaware that in addition to random Louisiana and NW Texas politicians he also appears to have created a bunch for similar figures in Arkansas as well. I honestly don't know how he had the time to publish so many of these or how an academic with a PhD. in History would ever find this level of sourcing acceptable.

Delete non-notable politician. This level of sourcing would be acceptable for some levels of historical papers, but an encyclopedia article is not meant to be a report of primary research but an agregate of published knowledge.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NPOL, likely riddled with copyvios and is just more Billy Hawthorn crud. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:03, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
