Requested deletion via OTRS. Article contained false defamatory statements (now removed) however the notability here is minimal. Most of the coverage that does exist is about the subject's restaurant, which does not have an article so no suitable redirect target exists. § FreeRangeFrog croak 01:44, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree that the wiki-notability is minimal if any per WP:BIO. Most of the sources are about the restaurant and some of those are self-published blogs. There might be enough for an article about the restaurant rather than about him. Someone not using his real name (talk) 11:57, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Among the culinary elite. The LA Times said Haque(THE POWER ISSUE; The West 100; Our list of the most.. Los Angeles Times - Aug 13, 2006) owned "the hottest restaurant in LA". The restaurants are covered in this article as well and as noted above they are quite notable. The combined article passes the notability threshold without much difficulty. There is plent yof substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:19, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete When a person requests deletion of a biography of them through OTRS, the article had had flagrant BLP policy violations, and the notability is dubious, I will consistently favor deletion. The sources are primarily about the restaurant. The LA Times paragraph, for example, has no biographical information, but instead emphasizes the trendiness, at that time, of the restaurant. If a policy-compliant article about the restaurant is written, I would not oppose a redirect.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  19:01, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - we have been all over the map on requests to delete BLPs of otherwise marginally notable adults (cf. similarly-situated children, who we usually delete). Can we have some more input on this one?  I am leaning towards delete, based on the fact that his restaurant is really notable, while the chef is not always in the limelight.

 * Delete. Even if the subject hadn't requested deletion, this article simply doesn't meet WP:GNG. Coretheapple (talk) 16:13, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
