Fails WP:GNG. None of the article's current references constitute significant, external coverage in reliable sources, search for new sources only found passing references in articles. Morgan695 (talk) 04:05, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Noting for the record that the page author did request deletion, which was then contested by the nominator. -FASTILY 05:26, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, didn't see that request. Article has had multiple contributors, so I still think an AfD is the fairest course of action here. Morgan695 (talk) 16:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the subject is non-notable and that both you and the page author have already advocated for deletion, I'm willing to exercise IAR and save the community some time. Like I said, you're welcome to insist on having this discussion, but I don't think it'll change the eventual outcome (deletion). -FASTILY 21:38, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, none of the sources constitute WP:SIGCOV and searching for her finds only sources where she is listed as a member of the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen. Cerebral726 (talk) 15:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. She's one of several high-profile staff who resigned from Bon Appetit following allegations of racial discrimination at the publication.[1] I think this deserves a proper discussion. pburka (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - using her own website as one of only 2 references?! That's brazen. MaskedSinger (talk) 14:33, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
