non-notable business person. Looks like he appeared on one episode of a TV series, founded a restaurant chain based in Baton Rouge, and has received the local coverage expected from that kind of local notability valereee (talk) 10:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep this guy is very notable in the state of Louisiana and passes WP:BASIC with multiple substantial coverages. He seems to be notable on multiple subjects ranging from TV, books, restaraunt awards. [1] The guy has also been featured in two books. [2] [3] According to his IMDB profile he's been in 3 TV shows. [4] He's also apparently the top CEO in America. [5] This guy is all over the place, he apparently even gave Chuck Norris $100,000 for his charity. [6] The Louisiana governor regularly mentions him on the louisiana.gov website. [7] He partnered with Southern University to donate over 1 million dollars in academic scholarships. [8] His coverage is not limited to Louisiana. He has substantial media coverage in Texas, Arkansas and for some reason... Hawaii. [9] His business is operating in several countries including United States, Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with over 400 restaraunts.

    • Comment One more thing... if I were born in the year 2050 and read an encyclopedia about this era... I might want to know about someone that owned 453 restaraunts. DavidDelaune (talk) 04:54, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      DavidDelaune, none of those sources look like proving notability. The food channel one is an interview, the Orlov book is self-published, the textbook is possibly significant coverage in a reliable source, so that's a SINGLE support for notability; we need at minimum three. IMDb is crowdsourced. What is QSR magazine, and what is a Glassdoor Employee's Choice award? Whatever they are, that is from a Raising Cane's press release; it states at the bottom that the info hasn't been verified. IMDb again, not usable. louisiana.gov is a bare mention in a story about Lemonade Day. Southern Uni's is a bare mention. Hawaii News Now (not sure what that is?) is again a bare mention, and btw it's just an apparent reprint of a Raising Cane's press release. None of these go to proving notability. --valereee (talk) 13:10, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'd not heard of him until this AfD, but not hearing of some person is a bad reason for deletion. Bearian (talk) 18:22, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Horse Eye Jack, which three sources do you think prove notability? I'm just not seeing it. --valereee (talk) 19:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Paul2520, which of DD's sources look like proving notability to you? HEJ didn't provide any. --valereee (talk) 19:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
