Keep He is well known as a recurring character on Letterman, and now apparently has made at least one appearance on the replacement show --rogerd (talk) 19:55, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clear failure of WP:BEFORE, easy pass of WP:GNG. Examples of coverage include "Odd path to success isn't spoiling Rupert Jee" by Steve Hall, Indianapolis Star, 21 July 1997, p E1, and "Thanks to David Letterman, Rupert Jee a famous deli guy" by Marie-Joelle Parent, The Intelligencer (Ontario), 5 February 2009, p. 8; and "A grin that has Letterman coming back for more", The Salt Lake Tribune, 3 March 2007 edition; and "Behind the sandwich: An odd sort of fame hasn't changed Dave's deli-owning pal, Rupert Jee" by Robert Cross, Orlando Sentinel, 18 February 2007, p K5; and "Neighborhood Watch: Thanks to Dave Letterman's out-and-about camera spoofs, the shops around Broadway and 53rd in New York have newfound celebrity -- and humor" by Chris Kaltenbach, The Sun (Baltimore, not that other Sun), 5 October 2000, p 1E. I'll stop there for now. Reliable sources across the USA have provided significant coverage of the subject for years. Bakazaka (talk) 07:42, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article had no references, but there is enough coverage from reliable sources to meet our notability guidelines. I am adding references to the article. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 13:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
