Does not appear to pass notability guidelines. He has made appearances on cooking TV shows and there are a couple articles about his work in print, but not enough to build a bio. The tone of this article is overly promotional. Delta13C (talk) 07:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator Sorry about that! Delta13C (talk) 21:28, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Easily meets notability. One of the first international television celebrity chefs, made over 1800 programmes worldwide.[1]. Two Emmy nominations, etc, etc. Sure the article needs some work, but that does not detract from his notability. Paora (talk) 09:39, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. He became massively famous in the late 1960s as "The Galloping Gourmet". Here are articles from LIFE [2], The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America [3], the Los Angeles Times [4], The New York Times [5], Chicago Tribune [6][7]. Lots more is apparent in simple searches. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:50, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BEFORE and WP:SNOW. Kerr was one of the biggest pre-Internet TV cooks, and I remember his show. There is no question that he was and is notable. Bearian (talk) 19:57, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A ridiculous nomination. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:47, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. Absurd nomination as shown by the sources already in the article, let alone Arxiloxos' additional input. Brianhe (talk) 22:21, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
