| Submission declined on 12 December 2023 by LEvalyn (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Comment: It's unclear how the subject meets notability criteria. More importantly, it does not appear that the cited sources can verify the content. I removed one source which I was able to read in full, which did not mention Cohen or British policy in Mandatory Palestine. I also suggest removal of the Roberts-Wray book since as far as I can tell it has no mention of Cohen either. The work by Cohen, "On CMD 6019", obviously cannot count as coverage of him (it's OK to cite it for supplementary info, but it's not proof that he has been covered by enough other people to merit an article). The remaining source, "Loacker p.413", does not provide enough information for the information to be checked. For this article to be accepted, it needs multiple high-quality sources that actually discuss Cohen in depth. (News articles can be good.) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
