• Comment – Here are some sources [1], [2], [3], [4] which are about the subject's television show debut on PBS. Most of the coverage is about the show debut, so this may be a WP:BLP1E matter at this time. This source provides some information about the subject's appearance at a Jamaican food festival, but it is too short to qualify for significant coverage.

• Keep The above links include one from an Atlanta-based publication, showing indepth coverage from publications far from Chef Irie's home base. He is a leading figure in the Jamaican food scene in south Florida and thus passes notability tests. The tests proposed with this deletion nomination would aggrevate systemic bias and the undercoverage of cultural figures outside of the European and Euro-American cultural landscape.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I assume those wanting to keep this would be comfortable with the elimination of the remarkably trivial "Awards" section -- of he is notable, listing things like this detract from it, not add to it. And do not think the show indicates notability , because this is not a show on the main PBS system, but an auxiliary lifestyle network. DGG ( talk ) 04:45, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - not notable, if anything the show, which isn't even mentioned by name on the article, would be more deserving of an article with a brief description about its host/chef.Burroughs'10 (talk) 01:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
