Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Cohen (author)
I found the same sources Bakazaka found.  It is not enough to pass , despite the hot topic of the second book.  The article in Feminist Formations is a solid source and supports notability; it is critical of Cohen. The award he won was given by a local humanitarian group, in Long Beach, California, near his home. I cannot find that either of his books was reviewed.  This is puzzling for a 2009 book about the adventures of a self-proclaimed human rights activist who says he freed sex slaves from brothels in sundry countries with great daring-do. The answer may lie in a book interview /feature story about Cohen in The Observer by investigative reporter Carole Cadwalladr (Observer Woman Magazine: THE SLAVE HUNTER: 'Most women have a hard time accepting that I spend my life in brothels looking for underage sex slaves': Aaron Cohen travels the world, rescuing girls sold into prostitution. He tells Carole Cadwalladr why he does it - and how a suburban kid turned heroin addict became a human rights campaigner Cadwalladr, Carole. The Observer; London (UK) London (UK)22 Nov 2009: 40.) She writes:  ''"There are moments reading the book when I wonder if he's not a bit of a fantasist: the facts of his life seem so incredible. The rock-band antics, the years of Kabbalah study, the infiltration of criminal gangs and consorting with drug smugglers and human traffickers. He's larger than life, and when I meet him this turns out to be literally true: he's 6ft 5in, 44 and has the most unnerving gaze of almost anyone I've ever met. I keep going to the loo just to be able to stare at a blank wall and have five minutes' respite. There's an almost messianic passion that Cohen brings to bear on the subject of human trafficking: it is his life's work and, he believes, part of a divine plan."''  i.e., he's a tad strange and Cadwalladr and the author of the article in Feminist Formations both feel that there is something a little over-the-top about his stories.  This may explain why we have '''only 3 sources.'''  Why the book drew so little attention despite the topic. And why he has not been in the news in the decade since ''Slave Hunter
