WP:BLP1E - sources are all in context of death, which while sad, does not meet notability criteria Melcous (talk) 14:16, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. You definitely should have done more research first Melcous... And yes, I could have built the page out more before taking live. More coverage:
  • His controversial career as a mohel: Many articles of him on this, particularly in 2012 and 2015: NYT 2012[1] 2015 [2], AP 2015, NPR 2012 etc
  • His experience in the Holocaust has been reported on numerous times prior to his death: 2019 [3], 2020 address to Congress [4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loksmythe (talkcontribs)

  • Keep The scope and breadth of sources in the article about his life meet and exceed the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 02:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:BEFORE. Not BLP1E when you are talking about a colorful figure like Cohn who was a WWII partisan, Holocaust survivor, controversial mohel, rabbi and real estate businessman, and sadly, coronavirus victim. That is a lot of activity rolled up into one person. While the virus seemed to be the spur for article creation, that is really no worse than any other impetus one might have to start writing an article about a notable subject. StonyBrook (talk) 06:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per User:StonyBrook. He is notable and the article only needs more sources. Yoninah (talk) 13:27, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
