Ruby Tandoh

... that Ruby Tandoh (pictured) is known for her fiery attacks on fellow British chefs as much as for her baking or cookbooks? Source: Basically the whole of section Ruby_Tandoh#Twitter_conflicts. Probably the best single sentence or two are the Irish Independent's https://www.independent.ie/life/the-chef-critic-36551883.html "Tandoh, now 25, has established herself as one of the most interesting contemporary writers and commentators on food and politics, someone who doesn't shy away from calling out the great and the good. (Paul Hollywood, for instance, is a 'peacocking man child', while Piers Morgan is a 'sentient ham'.)" but then there is the Times article, title/subtitle https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ruby-tandoh-oh-there-will-definitely-be-angry-tweets-nt8phck50 "Ruby Tandoh: ‘Oh, there will definitely be angry tweets’ She called Deliciously Ella ‘dangerous’ and Paul Hollywood ‘a peacocking man-child’ — but, Ruby Tandoh tells Andrew Billen, ‘I’m not confrontational’" and easily a dozen or so other reputable sources.

- Comment: The contributions of my esteemed co-authors to the article are ... unusual. I love them both dearly; and they are both deserving of co-author status due to each investing a great deal of time and effort into the article, by some measures more than I did; and the article would definitely not have been written without their input, but ... they didn't actually, um, well, write very much of the article as such. For those who are interested what happened, you can see the recent history of the article, and Talk:List of The Great British Bake Off finalists (series 1–7)#Ruby Tandoh The hook is thus very appropriate to the method that was employed in the article creation.

The hook pretty plainly breaches WP:NPOV: it's straight (and fairly derogatory) opinion about what a WP:BLP, in Wikipedia voice, and not an even close to an undisputed one. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:42, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Drat. OK, won't argue with a co-author. Will think of another. Do you have any other ideas? --GRuban (talk) 02:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
  - @The Drover's Wife: Would you consider something about her responding to accusations of flirting with Hollywood by coming out also a BLP breach? --GRuban (talk) 02:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
    - I think that's also a bit of a creative interpretation of that incident (the former as prompting the latter, instead of her referring to the former after coming out) - perhaps something like "mocked people who had suggested she was attracted to host Paul Hollywood following her coming out as queer".

@The Drover's Wife: Sounds good, but let's avoid giving his name, as we know he didn't appreciate that. How about:

ALT1: ... that when baker Ruby Tandoh (pictured) publicly came out, she mocked critics who suggested she had romanced a male contest judge?

Even better. Well done. The Drover's Wife (talk) 21:57, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
