Adam Cohen (government official)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The sourcing here is almost all WP:PRIMARY i.e. employers of Adam Cohen or organisations that he is part of. It reads like an online CV or resumé rather than objective coverage of the individual. Fails WP:NBIO due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV and independent coverage. Not sure the current format or purpose of the article is encyclopaedic. >> Lil-unique1  (  talk  ) — 12:09, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * This article as been flagged at WP:COIN under threat "Notable"_alumni_from_Columbia_University as it is part of a series of mass article created that are very similar in terms of coverage. >> Lil-unique1  (  talk  ) — 17:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I created this article years ago when I was relatively new to Wikipedia, and realized it was not up to the Wikipedia standards of notability. It was moved back to draft but another editor moved it back into the main space. CatchedY (talk) 22:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. president of Associated Universities, Inc., qualifies as an academic  administrator == it is is even more notable than of a single university--its the consortium of all the major us government research centers, like Brookhaven.  DGG ( talk ) 22:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is a research management corporation the same as an academic institution? That is what the first sentence says...
 * If this is the case then article should be kept and re-named Adam Cohen (academic) to reflect this better. I note that the position of President or CEO isn't necessarily an academic position but it seems he is also an academic associate at Center for Strategic and International Studies. >> Lil-unique1  (  talk  ) — 22:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree that a consortium of universities would be more notable than a single university. There is usually less money / staff associated with such groups than with the individual universities. I'm not quite sure to what extent AUI is an academic institution.. Femke (talk) 13:15, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
