The Restaurant Marco Pierre White

 * ... that at The Restaurant Marco Pierre White in 1995, Marco Pierre White (pictured) became the youngest chef ever to win three Michelin stars? Source: "Mr Brown said 'In the 1995 Michelin Guide, Restaurant Marco Pierre White will have three stars.' Three stars. Two words that established me in the history of British gastronomy as the first British chef to win three stars. At the age of thirty-three, I had become the world's youngest ever chef to win such an award" - The Devil in the Kitchen by Marco Pierre White, p. 212

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Date and length fine. AGF on offline hook. I was a little unsure about accepting using the autobiography as a source but couldn't find anything to say that a non-WP:SPS 3rd party published source couldn't be used. QPQ done. No close para. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 10:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If required, I can easily get a third party source off the web to reinforce. Miyagawa (talk) 18:29, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Regrettably, the QPQ was incomplete: neither copyvio nor neutrality checks were done, and the article proved to have a sentence that was lifted from an uncredited source. I'm afraid a complete QPQ will need to be submitted. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Shorter ALT1 added. Edwardx (talk) 21:48, 2 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hooks are required to be both in sources and in the article. All that the article says on this subject is that White is the youngest chef ever to have won a third star at the same restaurant; the hook claim is far broader. I would also suggest, as Miyagawa offers to do, that a non-autobiographical source be found to support the revised article text and hook. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:08, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I've dropped the "same restaurant" bit from the article; it doesn't make any sense in the context anyway. I've added a second source for the hook fact. Miyagawa (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to recheck the article, since there were a number of problems with the original review. The submitted QPQ has been expanded upon since the previous comments. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:44, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and seems to be free of close paraphrasing and other policy issues. The image is suitably licensed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:01, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
