Biography of a living person who is not notable. BLP1E of winning a TV cake making contest. Speedy delete removed by new user. Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:09, 23 August 2013 (UTC) Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:09, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per BLP-1E. I took the liberty of removing this spamtastic passage: "Since winning the Great British Bake Off Joanne has created her own recipe book 'A Passion for Baking'. This 256 page book shows her love for baking as it includes over a hundred recipes she has developed herself and are suitable for families. This wonderful book would make a lovely present and is avalible from £10.99." Carrite (talk) 17:52, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment from  from talk:Joanne Wheatley: "joanne wheatley is an author of two best selling cookery books, a columnist for sainsburys magazine as well as being a tv chef and therefore notable and worthy of a wikipedia entry." (sic). (Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:51, 23 August 2013 (UTC))

 * Delete The article itself makes only the vaguest claim of notability: winning the 2011 television bake-off. This does not make her a "TV chef", contrary to Knights365's assertion, nor does her single appearance as a guest on What's Cooking.  Claims of authorship of two best selling cookbooks would need to be verified, and even then, unless those best sellers have led to significant coverage in independent media, we would not have the basis of a verifiable article.
