Talk:Ryan Cohen

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the subject, Ryan Cohen, is a notable entrepreneur who founded and served as CEO of the company Chewy, which was acquired by PetSmart for more than $3 billion in 2017, the largest ever acquisition of an e-commerce company. Cohen has been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Miami Herald, Inc. and elsewhere. The Wikipedia page is written in a neutral tone, it is concise, and it does not seem to pass Criteria for speedy deletion.--Bernie44 (talk) 00:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * However, he didn't have a passion for jewelry. An avid pet owner, Cohen saw an untapped online market potential in pet products. is so far from an encyclopedic tone that it falls under WP:G11 from my point of view. I agree that WP:A7 (obviously non-notable people) is not met.  We'll see what the admins think.  power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:23, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Removed that bit. I do not think the page could be considered to be purely promotional at this point.--Bernie44 (talk) 00:28, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * After your two edits, I agree it's not quite G11 anymore. I've removed the tag and will wait for someone else to comment before editing further here. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:31, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. The notability is apparent, especially with the sources cited. Godrestsinreason (talk) 11:01, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Stand-alone Page
I believe this subject deserves its own page. He is notable as an entrepreneur for the size and success of the company he founded as demonstrated by the amount of press on the matter from reliable third-party sources. I have reviewed the Talk Page and Revision History, and am aware of previous concerns over paid editing. I have rewritten the page in what I believe is a concise and neutral manner.

Protection request
As above, the page is being edited to remove mention of him selling his BBBY stakes (likely by investors in said stock) 2A02:810D:640:69A0:19A:6C82:55A6:829 (talk) 22:47, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Why blacklisting my source reference to his firm's form to sell his BBBY?
Now we need to add another reference because someone decided to blacklist a well known investment company's web site? Why is this blacklisted, because it's not in Yahoo? My original reference: InquisitionX (talk) 04:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't think the source is blacklisted, as per Deprecated sources so I undid that change 2A02:810D:640:69A0:8CFC:EF40:7A31:637C (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 August 2022
Someone added “A Jewish” next to family and removed “his” so what would have been “his family in Montreal” is now “A Jewish family in Montreal”, it was recently vandalized by racist trolls 2601:6C2:100:70:4BA:EE2D:7D33:BC98 (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Lawsuit
I knew adding the lawsuit would cause some kickback. But I didn't expect it would be entirely deleted within a few hours! Recommend using the talk page to discuss. Wikipedia reports what reliable sources say. The problem is not the case, or Wikipedia, it's what reliable sources are saying - take it up with them. Removing it from Wikipedia won't remove it from WSJ and wherever else it's being reported. -- Green  C  04:58, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
