Salt Bae

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not seeing any real claims of notability here. His claim to fame is a video/videos of him preparing his meat in a certain way, nothing extraordinarily special or unique. Also, if this article ends up staying, the subjects real name should be the article title rather than "Salt Bae". Andise1 (talk) 04:33, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep popular memes usually have enough sustained coverage to form an article. Funnily enough, I found out about him for the first time today after reading this article. Next stop YouTube and "maybe I'll start an article on him later." I'm randomly scrolling through AfD and stumble across this nom. Pretty sure I saw a video with James Corden featuring him on his late night US TV show. There's that, this and other sources per WP:GNG. "Salt Bae" would be his common [nick]name as well.

 * Keep I've seen the meme and I'm unimpressed, but the reliable and verifiable sources establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 02:43, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The above + mass of google and google-news hits convinced me. I wouldn't rename the article - at least as long as he's mainly known for the meme.Icewhiz (talk) 19:14, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
