Speedy deletion nomination of Jim Burke (chef)
A tag has been placed on Jim Burke (chef) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your article on Jim Burke
If you want I can move the article to User:Stereopod/Jim Burke (chef) so you can work on it in peace. When it is finished you can ask me or another user to look it over and move it back into mainspace. Jarkeld (talk) 21:51, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd second that. If Jim Burke is indeed invited to participate in the Bocuse d'Or, I think an article is merited. That said, you need to get some reliable sources to establish his notability. Working on the article in your userspace would afford you a bit of time. Regards Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 22:35, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and userfied it. It can be found at User:Stereopod/Jim Burke (chef). -- &oelig; &trade; 07:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
