  • Comment: Irrespective of who the author was, wikipedias do not have independent editorial oversight and are therefore considered unreliable. You need to provide the primary sources not a wikipedia reference. The Lincoln legal lawsuit wasn't a significant/notable legal case and therefore Kinkead's role wasn't notable. Dan arndt (talk) 02:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Wikipedias are not acceptable or reliable sources. The Lincoln reference is not a notable incident. Dan arndt (talk) 02:17, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

The author of the Wiki entry is a history professor at Rice University. The Lincoln suit is signifcamt and a book was written about it. Regardless, secretary of state is a notable position. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:23, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
