Delete Apparent vandalism aside, search also finds some passing mentions in reviews of Plaisir [1], and some PR-heavy coverage in niche publications of subject's duty free retail venture [2] [3] but it doesn't add up to significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.

Delete - this is a run of the mill chef, his only allegation of notability being catering for a bunch of famous celebrities. Bearian (talk) 23:53, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - came across this article and also can't find much to say he's a "celebrity chef." The article reads like it may have been written by Philippe himself, using phrases like "strives to do x" and describing what he does as an "art". The article also contains information that doesn't appear to come from any source (ie. could only come from somebody who personally knows him) such as that his grandmother had a bakery. Wholeheartedly recommend it's speedy deletion. DeliriousWolf (talk) 20:04, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. No reliable sources turn up through the various gSearches. Barely passing mention of his connection with the Los Angeles-area bakery does not qualify as WP:SIGCOV. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 22:00, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with the above contributors that it Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. the Promo sources cant be used to establish WP:SIGCOV. --DBig Xrayᗙ 21:33, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
