David Cohen[edit]

non notable biography RedShiftPA (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable Philadelphia politician, elected to office served until 90 years old, also served under FDR during WWII. Passes wp:bio. Article needs work, not a reason to delete. Pharmboy (talk) 01:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's a tiny bit of useful and notable info in each article. Merge and Redirect Mark B. Cohen, Florence Cohen, and David Cohen into Cohen Family (Philidelphia). --brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cohen has a long history in Philly and just a quick search found some references [1] and [2]. I think his notability stands on its own and warrants its own article. If this article was trimmed to remove extraneous nonsense, I think Florence and Denis could have SOME information merged into the page. Montco (talk) 02:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep David Cohen was one of the tenacious and famous political figures in Philadelphia history, who played a significant role in many public issues over many decades. User: Zulitz —Preceding comment was added at 03:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Merge with article Florence Cohen could be significantly strengthened.--RedShiftPA (talk) 04:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as above, and the article is very good and informative as well. --Arcanios (talk) 10:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as neither unverifiable nor unnotable; but somebody with a real (unconflicted) interest ought to add inline citations, edit out the verbiage, transwiki the quotations, and do all sorts of other stuff to clean it up. --Paularblaster (talk) 13:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable enough to have a wiki vendetta started against him. Mykej (talk) 18:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rewrite the whole article fails in the verifiability department but otherwise this is an obviously notable person Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
