Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martha Cohen
Although the article was originally created by a sockpuppet (I'm not 100% sure what that means), I believe it's well demonstrated that this person is notable and the article should be marked for improvement as opposed to being deleted. In fact, I'm not sure it even really needs to be improved any more. I edited the page and removed everything I think was promotional or not reliable and added more info and citations. In addition to more recent online sources, I found some older newspaper sources from when she was more active https://newspaperarchive.com/lethbridge-herald-jul-19-1980-p-91/ and from her honorary doctorate.https://newspaperarchive.com/lethbridge-herald-sep-18-1982-p-16/https://newspaperarchive.com/drumheller-mail-sep-15-1982-p-26/ She received the Order of Canada for unending community service, and a Prime Minister’s Medal from Israel. Even ignoring the awards, she passes  for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (she was the first woman to sit as head of an Alberta educational institution, her work was widely covered while she was alive, her death was widely covered, two buildings were named after her, her art collection made headlines when it was being sold, two years after her death she was listed as one of the top people from Alberta, etc.). I believe her awards qualify her for  for "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." I think the honorary doctorate for her work, ongoing coverage after her death and the fact that two buildings that were named in her honor help demonstrate that "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field
