One of a long series of spam articles on TV chefs seeking U.S. publicity. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  01:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Refs look unreliable, through a Spanish speaker would be better suited to judge that. Doesn't seem to pass GNG on life achievements otherwise. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Move & Keep. Her surname is Espinosa not Espinoza (which is the article title at present). You can get a better idea of her with the correct name: . Publications are mainly in Spanish but she's been at the centre of a revival of Colombian food since 2007 and has been mentioned in NYTimes, USA Today, Conde Nast Traveller etc in that regard.

 * comment - thank you for the name catch; but mere mentions do not constitute the requisite substantial coverage for notability. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  00:20, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It's unclear if "mention" was used above in the sense of "trivial mention" or "significant mention". -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:00, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:GNG. The guidelines do not require sources to be in English. Newspapers in Colombia are acceptable, she is obviously more notable in Colombia where she lives and works than, say, the United States of America (to pick a country at random). Sources include:, ("renowned chef"), ,("one of the most recognized chefs Colombia"), ("Conde Naste says one of 82 best restaurants in the world"), ,,("Two of Colombia's most recognized chefs, Leonor Espinosa and Carlos Yanguas")(government website),,. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:22, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Definitely keep, it's well sourced and notable static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ  01:10, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - the subject clearly passes WP:BASIC, having received significant coverage in reliable sources. See several of the sources provided above by User:Green Cardamom above for examples of those that provide wp:sigcov. Northamerica1000(talk) 05:45, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
