Delete unnecessary page per MOS:DAB, already a hatnote on primary to only other entry, so this serves no purpose. Boleyn3 (talk) 17:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I added a third one. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:54, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The 3rd one does not have this personal name, but as it is similar it is arguably valid in a see also section, I withdraw the nomination. Boleyn3 (talk) 06:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Three entries now. Would have voted delete, but, well...now there's three, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 19:23, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Due to the existing hatnote on Ben Cooper, rendering the disambiguation page unecessary. I'm pretty sure if somebody was looking for Judge Irving Ben Cooper, they wouldn't be searching for the Judge's middle and last name.

- Keep. And add articles on the Ben Cooper (bushwhacker) who rode with Quantrill's Raiders and the James-Younger Gang, and the Ben Cooper (pioneer) who played a notable enough role in the early history of Missouri. --Paularblaster (talk) 03:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If you wish to create articles on these Bens, then please do so and add them to the dab. But as it stands, neither meet MOS:DABRL and so can't really be taken into account. As it's a navigational tool rather than an article, it should only reflect WP as it is, not what could be added at some point, which may or may not turn out to be notable.

- As it stands now, delete. If a third Ben Cooper would be added (first and last name), then we can keep (or recreate, if done after the AfD).--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 13:05, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with Unionhawk. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 14:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
