Andrew George, Jr.[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a chef and food writer, with no strong claim to notability under Wikipedia's inclusion rules for either of those things. This is written like one of the most appallingly transparent public relations advertisements I've ever seen on Wikipedia (which is saying a lot), and cites not a whit of reliable sourcing to support so much as one syllable of it — and the level of detail about his personal life is so intimate for the lack of sourcing that conflict of interest editing by the subject himself or someone who knows him personally is virtually the only possible explanation. Wanna know the worst part, and the only reason I'm not just speedying it out of hand? The article was created in 2005, so it's existed in this state for a decade. Headdesk and delete.

Keep Absolutely abysmal piece of self promotion; worse, it's promoting a writer and is not even written in proper English. Searching for him i find a real review of his cookbook [1], a profile in a major regional daily [2], a profile/feature in a big city daily [3], another inn a national daily [4]. And lots more. and that was only after running a quick news google on "andrew george" "modern native feasts". Regardless of what his second book did or what he has dones since, he is a clear keep, despite the embarrassingly inferior article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:11, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But make sure the sources that E.M.Gregory listed are added and the style is improved. I have helped some with that but there is still a long way to go on both counts.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:39, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per John Pack Lambert. Has received significant coverage in several reliable and independent sources. North of Eden (talk) 01:05, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
