Non-notable chef lacking Ghits and Gnews of substance. Vanity page/advertisement appears to have been written by COI. Article author cites subject's working for celebrities as reason for his notability. Fails WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 16:40, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The coverage includes: Westchester Magazine [1] and The News-Times[2]. Are these two enough to pass the GNG guideline? I believe so because the sources are in-depth and contain enough biographical details to write an article with. The original author is a newbie and is making effort to edit based on what is best for Wikipedia (though still needs help). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
