 * Keep: no obvious evidence of self promotion or other COI, the article is well referenced to reliable secondary sources, and a basic search easily turns up more, so clearly passses WP:BASIC. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 13:26, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - it appears WP:BASIC notability is supported for her work as a scholar, writer, and chef, e.g. "Hélène Jawhara Piñer is a Sephardic cookbook author with a PhD in medieval history and the history of food who's been recognised and awarded by a number of organisations, including most recently the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies, for her engagement with Sephardic history research." (BBC, 2022); articles about and reviews of her books e.g. Sephardi: Cooking the History, Recipes of the Jews of Spain and the Diaspora, From the 13th Century to Today: LAT (2021), Forward (2021, "[she spent] six years researching the recipes of Iberian Jews of the Middle Ages"), Hadassah Magazine (2021), Jewish Book World (2021), SUR (2022); e.g. Jews, Food, and Spain: Jewish Book Council (Judges' remarks include "also as a chef, she brings that vast wealth of knowl­edge and years of expe­ri­ence in the kitchen to her enlight­en­ing his­tor­i­cal study"); event announcement: UPenn (2023) "This book was finalist of the Jewish Book Awards in the “Sephardic Culture” category, in 2023." While the article could benefit from some regular editing, available sources can help with the process. Beccaynr (talk) 14:27, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep WP:SK3: Nomination rationale is completely erroneous. The main contributor appears to be a student in a Wikipedia-improvement project from the University of Pennsylvania; no self-promotion evident. Some cleanup is needed (e.g. to remove external links in inline text and replace talk announcements, primary sources, and sources for off-topic material that are not about the subject herself by better secondary sources) but that is not a valid deletion reason either. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm finding no evidence of self-promotion or conflict of interest., care to elaborate or provide evidence? I'm also a bit curious how you became such a fast learner since this nomination was you 85th edit ever. The article seems sourced. Meets WP:BASIC and probably also WP:NAUTHOR based on the reviews of her books, and one of her books was a finalist for a notable award, and apparently she has received other awards.

 * Keep, meets NAUTHOR and is covered by popular press as well. -- Mvqr (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:SNOW. Easy pass of WP:NAUTHOR. pburka (talk) 04:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - Notable author. Carrite (talk) 15:40, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep There is ample evidence here that the notability standard is met. A claim of "self-promotion" is insufficient to merit deletion. Alansohn (talk) 03:04, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
