Non-notable reality TV contestant (Top Chef: Portland). Placed 10/15. Only notable for that one appearance (WP:ONEEVENT). Wani (talk) 14:54, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would encourage you to try Google, where you'll quickly see there's plenty of coverage about him, his TV appearances (Beat Bobby Flay, probably others), his multiple notable restaurants, etc., not to mention he was named Chef of the Year by Eater Portland. I'm not suggesting this one title makes him notable, but it is inaccurate for you to say coverage is limited to his Top Chef appearance, IMO. I'll let others decide the fate of this article, but the redirect serves a purpose so deleting the page altogether is unnecessary. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:25, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why didn't you include any of this additional information in the article? So, he has two credited appearances on TV, so I acknowledge WP:ONEEVENT doesn't technically stand, but I don't see how a single appearance on Beat Bobby Flay really changes things. "Probably others" is obviously vague. His restaurants have received local praise from Portland/Oregon-based websites, but I don't see how they're notable beyond that. Same thing with the Eater Portland award. Local praise from a local website. Even Top Chef itself made light of it. Wani (talk) 16:20, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not required to expand an article to your liking. Why does Wikipedia have any stubs? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, I'm under no obligation to google this person. You're the one who started this article. The content of the article makes no mention of notability beyond his appearance on Top Chef. That's why I nominated it. Wani (talk) 02:03, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there are some things you should be doing before nominating: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#Before_nominating:_checks_and_alternatives ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:40, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject fails ANYBIO and GNG. I don't know that BLP1E applies as being on a TV show might preclude being a low-profile person. The media coverage I found is all Portland-area LOCAL coverage and all of that is related to the show. The subject is a nobody. That the author of this sad article couldn't be arsed to dig up the sources and use them tells me that Another Believer shouldn't be writing articles, at all. Redirects are too costly.

Delete, per this comment right here. Bgsu98 (talk) 20:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete or~~ Redirect to Top Chef Portland. I see mentions and a few interviews, some routine business coverage of his restaurants, but no significant coverage of the article subject. Valereee (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or redirect to Top Chef Portland. Like others, I found no evidence that suggests the subject meets WP:GNG. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or redirect to Top Chef Portland. Existing articles do not demonstrate notability. Zeddedm (talk) 06:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm the article creator and while I think there's enough coverage to create a nice little bio, I'd rather see this page redirected to Top Chef: Portland than deleted altogether. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
