Tom Brown (chef)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not an obviously notable chef. A search for sources reveals gossip about marital separation in The Sun and the Daily Mail, which has also been a recent source of disruption in the article. In any case, I think the BLP problems are severe enough that we should just get rid of this article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:10, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Brown won a Michelin star, he is the current GQ chef of the year for the UK, he is listed as one of the Great British Chefs and his cooking is widely praised. He is notable. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  16:43, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, but to me those sources suggest we should re-appropriate the article to Cornerstone (restaurant) and make it about the restaurant instead. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:50, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a possibility, but the Great British Chefs article has seven solid paragraphs about his career before he started Cornerstone. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:32, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Brown is a known TV chef, appearing in the BBC's 'Saturday Kitchen', and also - according to this interview in The Times, Channel 4's 'Sunday Brunch'. According to the Evening Standard he's a judge for 'The Great British Menu', not a contestant. I've personally never heard of him, but those three get him past WP:GNG as far as I can see. And you can chuck in his piece in the Financial Times on Mexican food and his 2018 Observer Food Award just to seal it off. If there's a case for deletion on account of the BLP problems to be made (I can't see how), I have no objection to make - but for notability, he's good.

 * Keep. This source shows significant coverage in addition to the others mentioned above, and confirms his role as a judge on The Great British Menu. All together it's enough to to pass WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 16:13, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a notable person. Tens of thousands of other people should be on Wikipedia if this is the standard we are setting for noteworthy individuals
 * Keep - per Cullen328's sources. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 14:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
