This article seemed to be a hoax because it claimed Caravelli had written an Anthony Bourdain book and was the host for Anthony Bourdain's shows (hosted by ..erm ..Anthony Bourdain actually). I've removed these claims and what remains seems highly promotional and inappropriate. Caravelli has taken part in a reality TV show and received local coverage for that alone. I don't think that makes him notable outside of the TV series. Sionk (talk) 04:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete. I did a search and all I can find are mentions that he's participating as a contestant in a reality show. Other than that, there is nothing that would show that he's notable enough to merit a mention outside of the article for The Taste. I've tagged it for a speedy since it's over the top promotional in tone and I wouldn't be surprised if this was copied directly from someone's article or from a personal bio. Considering the amount of copyvio the original editor has put onto Wikipedia, I'd recommend a blocking of this editor. After the page is deleted, this could serve as a redirect to the page for the show, but Caravelli has no notability outside of the show. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:58, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
