[edit] Jon Cohen

Jon Cohen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Incomplete AfD. Template was added by unregistered user who expressed concern about the lack of sources (edit history) and the subject's notability (tag). This is a procedural listing. I abstain. Seed 2.0 16:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for failing notability. I think there's a specific page that deals with candidates for elected office. Unless you win, or competed in a national-profile contest, you're usually not notable, if I recall correctly. The other achievements, relating to healthcare management, are irrelevant.

• Delete - non-notable. Had Kerry won and Cohen become Surgeon General, then perhaps. But, as of yet, Cohen is not notable enough to have an article. --Kimon^talk 00:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep' There are adequate references found easily through Google, though the article did not list them, and I've put in three, from the New York Times, & other NY newspapers. (There are more, but they mostly copied it from the NYT. Also a official NYState site for his campaign manager. The criterion, as I recall, is two independent significant references. (Regardless of whether he actually runs or not.) Personally, I am inclining to the position that 2 RSs are not necessarily sufficient to warrant a WP article. Last time I checked the ongoing discussions ay WP:N, that was not the policy. So we do not have to speculate on who else might or might not have run. Curiously, the article on Lieutenant Governor of New York was also essentially unsourced, but I'm not sending it to AfD. DGG 01:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete simply not notable. --Abnn 17:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
