 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. Per WP:SKCRIT#1: Nominator acknowledges that the article is in fact notable, and the only other concern offered (but itself not an argument for deletion) was WP:TNT. This no longer applies as the article has been reverted back to a stable and long pre-existing version. (non-admin closure) &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  18:15, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Notable subject, but such a bad article that "blow it up" comes rapidly to mind. Anmccaff (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Snow keep This older version is fine, and he's clearly notable. I suggest the nominator withdraw.  E  Eng  17:17, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Indisputably notable as a state legislator and a state Supreme Court justice. The article has been reverted back to an acceptable version, and is on my watch list. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:49, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. The need for watchlisting ought to be obvious. See below. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:13, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * To this group:

I am a copywritten, professional, visual artist and writer, who happens to be the Granddaughter of Herbert Cohen.

I did not realize that a family member could not update a section with historically accurate information. (I had been told by others that I could do so, and had not researched this beforehand).

I have been putting together a biography of my Grandfather, and everything posted is fully documented on government sites and in newspapers. There is a deep and large archive covering my Grandfather's political and legal career in the York County Heritage and Trust Museum.

Further, there is no reason for a link to "For Sir Herbert Benjamin Cohen, 2nd baronet, see Cohen baronets," to be at the top of this section. That has nothing at all to do with my Grandfather. There is no historical connection at all.

Additionally, in the reference section, there is a link to "Noted York Family...," an article in the York Daily Record that includes misstatements of fact, (as well as historical omission). For example, "Noted York Family..." states that Herbert Cohen's son, Donn I. Cohen, attended U. of Penn Law School. That is incorrect. Donn Cohen attended Harvard Law School, and of course that is documented at Harvard.

Lastly, my work is original and my art and writing, as stated, have been copywritten in the U.S. Library of Congress on a number occasions.

If I can provide the historical documentation of my Grandfather's career to another Wikipedia contributor, so that this section can be updated, accurately, by that person, (not myself,) I would appreciate it.

Very best regards,

Jane Rubin
