Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Wesley Cockburn
He's as least as notable as any of the army of baseball players and barber shop quartet members that fill our virtual pages.  |There's no deadline, and I haven't even had time to head down to the library and check out a real paper book or two that would give some additional biographical information. I think a city councillor who displays the civic-mindedness to secure valuable rights for hydroelectric development and then *turn them over* to the city when they amend the charer to allow it, is a notable occurrence.  More politicians should be so civic-minded. Founding an electrical utility was notable, even as late as 1906, and Cockburn's actions were critical in securing public power development in Manitoba.  We've got dozens of obscure parliamentarians who are so un-notable we're not even sure when they were born or died.  Cockburn at least has printed sources in English to back up his existence and contributions
