The plethora of sources, none of which are of the kind that accord notability, are mainly concerned with promoting Katz's food or restaurants. The article itself is little more than a CV without making any specific claims to notability, and has all the hallmarks of a commissioned work.

  • Delete Fails the GNG, even with refined GNews searches such as MK (food writer) and MK (israel food writer) I drew several blanks, can't find very much specifically about the man to lend notability. Thanks, and have aHappy 2019! from L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 14:47, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

::User:L3X1, I think the writer part is the issue here, look for Michael Katz Chef or some variation. He is michelin rated and I find several reviews of his food. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

  • Keep per Hell in a bucket. शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil (talk) 17:32, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Keep: it appears he himself didn't get the Michelin stars but rather his employer as he wasn't head chef at the time but that along with the sources {{u|Hell in a Bucket}} has brought up leads me to conclude he probably passes WP:GNG. Unsure if he passes WP:NAUTHOR but GNG supersedes SNGs. SITH (talk) 18:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Delete as promotional. This is a WP:NOT policy criterion, and supersedes any claims about whether or not it meets the WP:GNG guideline. DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
