Making a potato salad isn't something to make you notable, in my opinion. StaticGull Talk  16:33, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete because, um, making a potato salad really doesn't make you notable. Unless you are THE inventor of potato salad? -- Quartermaster (talk) 16:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

He was credited with adding it to a greek salad, not with making the potato salad. Also the article is more a chef bio than an article about the salad anyway. Jwither1 (talk) 16:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Besides, you allow bios of other chefs, Emeril, etc. They list family info and work history. The article is not finished and will include PUBLISHED articles that feature him and his company. If I need to take out the trademarked product, I can. This guy is well known in the tampa bay area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwither1 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Just because other stuff exists, it doesn't automatically make the subject notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. StaticGull Talk  17:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hoax? It smells of hoax to me, I'd like to be sure. Bought a restaurant in 1925, wrote a book in 2002?  Possible, yes... likely, no.  Any insight?--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's a Louis L. and a Louis M., which may explain the dates; however, neither satisfies WP:BIO. Now if one of them were a member of The Mamas & the Papas... Clarityfiend (talk) 20:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not really a hoax, but not notable either. There is local news coverage as there would be for any small restaurant, but come on, Wikipedia isn't the Tarpon Springs yellow pages.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  23:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: This is definitely not a hoax, as the former Pappas Restaurant was indeed a popular eatery in Tarpon Springs, Florida, at one time (it closed several years ago). Delete as local restaurateurs do not meet WP:BIO.  JGHowes talk  -  02:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No hoax here. Sadly, not much notability either. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
