Talk:Marc Thuet

Untitled
Marc Thuet is a top Toronto chef and is listed as such in the Wiki page: Cuisine of Toronto

As other chefs listed on that page have similar pages I assumed it would be correct to post this information. Please let me know what else is required fore this type of personality?

About conflict of interest I an not Marc Thuet.. I created the account to add him to Wiki and as my usual handle "vanweb" was taken I just used that so I could remember. I do know the man but all of the information I have posted is publically available and is biographicall in content so I thought that it would be fine.

Please view any of the links which are major canadian publications for verification of the information.

His restaurant is also mentioned here: King Street (Toronto) & he is mentioned here: Jamie Drummond so others think he is worthy of being included. And if you read JAmie Drummond page that I just linked to here his "bio" is even more "promotional" then what I have written.

 * The problem here isn't notability but that the article does nothing but promote its subject. Re-write this from a neutral point of view and properly show notability under WP:BIO (mentions in other Wikipedia articles don't count) and you might be able to save it.

 * Ok, I am trying here.. added press and TV links but do not understand the the point about promotion and a neutral standpoint. I am comparing this to other Toropnto chefs (ie | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Kennedy_(chef)) and do not see what makes theirs nuetral and ok and Marc Thuets Bio "promotional"

 * The big no-no is the phrase: "Utilizing the finest New World products in refreshingly unique contexts, this international-award-winning chef has broken down traditional barriers to develop a distinctive American taste experience." Phrases such as "refreshingly unique contexts" and "a distinctive American taste experience" are subjective and sound very much like marketing phrases. The guidelines for neutrality are at WP:NPOV. Don't rely too much on other Wikipedia articles - a good number aren't written very well but no-one's got round to deleting or improving them yet. If you do want to look for examples of good article, have a look for articles rated FA, FL, A, GA or B on WikiProject Food and drink.
 * The references you have provided are a good start, but it's better to have a few references about the subject rather than a lot that only mention the subject. Inline citations are even better, but we can come back to that later. Anyway, it looks like you're trying to make this encyclopaedic, and it appear that this article is salvageable, so I'm removing the speedy tag for now to give you the chance to tidy up the article further. Note that someone else may nominate the article for deletion later. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Planning on editing this page, possible COI
I plan on editing this page to be less advertisey and more in line with Wikipedia policies. However, I work for Chef Thuet, and would like to be on record about the possible COI. If there is any concern about my edits being unnecessarily promotional, please revert immediately and discuss here on the talkpage. → ROUX   ₪  22:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Tuna
info on blue fin tuna and other endangered species was noted so patrons can be aware of his restaurants sustainability practices and moral conscience, or lack there of. as menus change and terms such as "toro" instead of tuna appear on menus keeping — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.155.201 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
