Deletion of Theodore Cohen (chemist)

Comment: Almost all of the metrics you list are cumulative, which means that his being above average in the metrics you list is purely an artifact of the fact that he published for an unusually long period of time.  is clear that ''Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1''; Cohen needs something more than a long career and the correspondingly large number of publications to meet

Comment: Rather than just saying that the individual 'vaults the notability threshold', could you specifically explain how he meets , , or any other SNG

Comment: There may only be obits here, yet there are three independent obits. One states  ''Cohen, who was a chemistry professor at Pitt for 60 years, died Dec. 13, at 88 years old. During his time at Pitt, he authored more than 200 research papers, and graduates of his lab can be found teaching at colleges and universities around the world.'' which signifies |notability. All a subject of an article has to be  is notable. This gentleman vaults that threshold with room to  spare. What the article needs is more substance and references for that substance. But AfD is not a mechanism of choice for article improvement

Comment: There may be enough here for #C1. The in-depth analysis above looks at average citations per paper, but I think that's a mistake; we want to determine whether he made at least a small number of significant contributions, and averaging over all papers doesn't pick out the significant ones. The sources claiming that his phenol syntheses were included in textbooks, and that he was known for his work on organosulfur and organometals, look more relevant for this than trying to understand how citation numbers in this field might have varied over time in order to calibrate the numbers. Regardless, I think we also have enough here for . The sources affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh can be considered reliable but are non-independent; however, the Chemical & Engineering News and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette obituaries look independent enough (in particular, the one in the Post-Gazette appears to be an article written by them, rather than a paid death notice from a family member
