'Delete' The sources provided by the author do not show notability (for media). A number of the sources are Press Releases or appear to be reprinted first-party-provided material.Stesmo (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep - there is nothing that fails WP:G11 here, so deleting as an "advertisement" isn't a good idea. I initially wasn't pleased by the title, but apparently that's the magazine's actual name. Cleanup should be done instead of deletion, if necessary. The fact that it has won a notable award indicates notability (this is criterion 1 in the relevant section of the essay Stesmo linked to). --Jakob (talk) 20:58, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I know that it is strictly seen unrelated but the author started spamming a link in a big number of chef-articles ([1]). The Banner talk 21:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No indication of notability. If you go to the website of the "notable award", you'll see that there is one award (in several classes) per country (meaning dozens of countries), meaning that this award is decidedly minor. And what else is there? --Randykitty (talk) 21:38, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What? A national level award is minor? --Jakob (talk) 23:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually look at that award page? --Randykitty (talk) 10:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above - No evidence of any notability. –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:53, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
