Delete - any claim of notability is tied to the lawsuit. Subject is not notable beyond a single event and there is no justification for a separate biographical article. Otto4711 (talk) 04:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Rename - I agree that Barber is significant only because of his lawsuit, but it seems clear that the lawsuit is significant. It got massive press coverage in 2002, and Nexis shows continuing discussion of the case in the global media in 2007 (article in Business Day of South Africa) and 2008 (Nation's Restaurant News). I find references to something also called the "Stella Awards," which are some kind of award given to an outrageous or ridiculous lawsuit filing, and Barber's suit seems to have won one.

 * Redirect to Fast Food, merging any salvageable content. We shouldn't delete this outright because it's a plausible search term, and plausible search terms should not be redlinks.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  14:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as plausible search term, with a suggestion to merge or redirect the content per WP:BLP1E. -Atmoz (talk) 18:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect somewhere (probably Fast food) per WP:BLP1E. The event might be notable, but the person isn't. Robofish (talk) 05:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge any relevant content into fast food - at this point in time, I do not see a point in redirecting because the fast food article does not currently mention Barber. CopaceticThought (talk) 05:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
