Y Article is long enough (6354 characters), has just been 5x expanded from 1246 to 6354 characters (5 x 1246 = 6230), and article is within policy. Article is eligible as per WP:DYKRULES 1d, as it has appeared on Recent Deaths, but not ITN as a bolded hook
Y Hooks are short enough, interesting, and well cited (verification for ALT1 is available here)
Y Image is public domain in US (the country of origin), used in the article, and looks good at low resolution
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Good to go for March 31- once bot moves it approved area, I will put it into special occasion area for March 31. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:34, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Reworded. "Professional" is unnecessary, and "former" is not used for deceased players (only for ones who are retired). —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
On that note, delink Chicago Cubs in the second paragraph
Start the third sentence with "Both of his parents were Polish immigrants:"
Done. I tacked it onto the end of the second sentence (which was only four words long) – hope that's alright. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
"and he finished second in walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) (1.051) and seventh in wins (16)." → "and he finished second with a 1.051 walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) as well as seventh in wins (16)."
Since it's the only team he played for and he only played in one season, I think you can drop the (1955) in the header; that's more to serve as a guide for players who had 20-year careers for 8 different clubs or something like that
You don't need to mention "until 1958" in the first sentence, as that's mentioned later, and it's more logical to put at the end
Removed and merged with second sentence (since the opening sentence of just "Cohen went back to the minor leagues" would read awkwardly). —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Awkward flow here – I would move everythingi up to "Hall of Fame" into the first paragraph, since that all concerns his educational experience, and drop the square dancing thing, which is tangential at best
"and had been diagnosed with COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in California several months before his death along with suffering physical issues." → "He had contracted the COVID-19 virus months before his ultimate death, and had continued to suffer health issues from the virus even after his supposed recovery."
Done (reworded slightly). —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:58, 30 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Only one image is present; it's public domain and obviously relevant to the article
No concerns with stability, the last edit was on May 6
Copyvio score looks good, the only reason one is at 11.5% is because of proper nouns
Some MOS stuff, as well as prose that I think can be tightened or moved around. Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. — GhostRiver 21:42, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@GhostRiver: thanks very much for the review! I hope I've addressed your comments satisfactorily. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:58, 30 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
