Michael Katz (writer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The plethora of sources, none of which are of the kind that accord notability, are mainly concerned with promoting Katz's food or restaurants. The article itself is little more than a CV without making any specific claims to notability, and has all the hallmarks of a commissioned work.

 * Delete Fails the GNG, even with refined GNews searches such as MK (food writer) and MK (israel food writer) I drew several blanks, can't find very much specifically about the man to lend notability. Thanks, and have aHappy 2019! from L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  14:47, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * User:L3X1, I think the writer part is the issue here, look for Michael Katz Chef or some variation. He is michelin rated and I find several reviews of his food. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping and the work, . In light of the material you found, I am withdrawing my above vote. Thanks, and have aHappy 2019! from L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  19:35, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per below Thanks, and have aHappy 2019! from L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  19:35, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm finding enough to think he is notable, could the article be less spammy, sure. Sources below like [] Is he Gordon Ramsay? Probably not but there is enough here that I found that makes me feel he meetes GNG
 * Ynetnews.com [], review of the resteruant by 3rd party
 * Jpost [] another food review, this one by their managing editor
 * Another Jpost [] acknowledging "is a member of the Belgian association of Master Chefs"
 * Coverage from Philippines The Daily Enquirer []
 * JWfoodandwine.com use his food for their article []

 * Keep per Hell in a bucket. शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil (talk) 17:32, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: it appears he himself didn't get the Michelin stars but rather his employer as he wasn't head chef at the time but that along with the sources has brought up leads me to conclude he probably passes WP:GNG.  Unsure if he passes WP:NAUTHOR but GNG supersedes SNGs.    SITH   (talk)   18:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as promotional. This is a WP:NOT policy criterion, and supersedes any claims about whether or not it meets the WP:GNG guideline.  DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
