Brent Owens

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:BIO basics, mostly a WP:BIO1E person only known for being a winner of a reality show, which generally fails GNG guidelines. Suggest redirect to MasterChef Australia (series 6) instead. SanAnMan (talk) 21:42, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: it does not look like WP:BEFORE has been followed here - I hope this editor isn't just blindly nominating all Australian Masterchef winners. In fact, coverage of the subject has continued steady since the show concluded, indicating that WP:BIO1E does not apply: a very quick search turns up this article from Business Standard and this one from Verve (both from India) and this article from 2021.

 * Speedy Keep. One a group of Mass nominations largly based on a false premise, the claim of one event. egs Jackson was known for two series, 2014 and 2020. McKay is curently getting attention for the current season as well as the one she won. Cheliah also was in the current season. Chan is also a TV host with two seasons of a show titled with her name. Lazy nominations lacking any real before. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a general principle, I agree with the keep voters, but Owens doesn't seem to have done anything significant since winning the show. That seems to be a relatively rare case amongst MasterChef winners, who've usually gone on to stay in a public role in some context, but that others did doesn't render Owens notable beyond his series. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 13:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC) Keep per Duffbeerforme's sources about his television shows as long as they're added to the article.

 * He didn't just disappear. "And he has a cookbook, 'Dig In', out as well as several TV shows to his credit. By the way, he also shot his cooking show, 'Brent Owens: Extreme, Authentic & Unwrapped', in South Africa. He went on to do, 'Brent Owens Unwraps Mauritius'."   duffbeerforme (talk) 08:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The cookbook is irrelevant because a cookbook deal comes with winning Masterchef, but the two cooking shows you've cited reasonably establish notability in my view. It's a shame the current article completely ignores his main claim to continuing notability, because given that the TV shows don't show up prominently on Google it was just asking for a deletion nomination.

 * Keep. Passes WP:CREATIVE and WP:SIGCOV with sources for both the competition win and his cooking show on television.4meter4 (talk) 19:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
