Epicurean Masters of the World

no evidence of notability for this publicity stunt. A7 declined on basis of "associated with notable people" I consider that this is not a reasonable basis to decline A7, as "associated with notable people" is not a rational claim to encyclopedic importance.

 *  Speedy delete: per A7. I originally placed the speedy tag which was declined.  Courtesy ping to declining admin: .    Dr Strauss   talk   20:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not an A7 as there are sources - "a rational claim to encyclopedic importance" isn't really the issue, as A7 means "not even a redirect, thanks". As for whether it's a "keep", not sure yet. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  20:54, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * sourcing shouldn't even come into the equation with A7s IMO. WP:CCS (which WP:A7 cites]]) says While the inclusion of reliable secondary sources may itself be an indication of significance, not including any sources is entirely irrelevant to an assessment under these speedy deletion criteria.    Dr Strauss   talk   21:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Er, yes. That means if an article has no sources, it might still not be an A7. This article has sources, such as the Time Magazine one I just added. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  21:04, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- a WP:PROMO article on a subject with no indications of notability or significance. Significant RS coverage not found. There are some sources, such as "The $300,000 Dinner" in Time, but it borders on WP:SPIP. Note the promo language and future tense; that's clearly PR driven:
 * "The 10-course feast is being touted as a "once-in-a-lifetime inspirational dinner." On April 5, Bangkok's five-star Lebua hotel will treat 50 favored guests to a repast prepared by a glittering array of Michelin-starred chefs."
 * Does not belong in an encyclopedia, IMO, for lack of lasting significance of these events. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:53, 14 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - When it was created in February 2007, the article stated "a series of gourmet dinners ...", but in fact there were only ever two events, in Nov 2006 and Feb 2007. At that time it was discussed in a number of reliable independent sources and might be said to pass WP:GNG. However interest did not last and the sources date to February 2007. I think the article fails WP:SUSTAINED and has no place in Wikipedia. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:20, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per Cwmhiraeth. Doesn't appear to have generated any lasting effects or continued coverage to satisfy WP:Notability (events). That said, also noting that Ritchie333's declining of the CSD A7 was absolutely correct. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:44, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
