I removed the ad tag and added some categories, it could use more cats. Please watch the wp:peacock. Articles should be "warts and all". I do question wp:notability (people). You may want to read a few other articles on chefs such as category:Canadian chefs and/or category:American chefs to follow the style. I recommend that you add an template:infobox chef and fill in as much as possible. Do you have a photo that you can legally upload? Upload one to commons and read about licencing here. As this is your first article and only edits on Wikipedia, please read wp:coi. Welcome and cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 15:33, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jim1138: Thanks Jim. Been a long time user of Wikipedia (gotten myself stuck in a Wiki-hole more than once!) but excited to become a contributor. I will definitely keep those things in mind as I create new articles and edit existing ones. Thanks for being so welcoming. May I ask in regards to COI, if the article is written in a neutral tone with sources to back up the information, whether it is still considered a COI? From reading the article whose link you provided, it seems the issue at hand is neutrality and overzealous language in a promotional tone. I do know Eric, but didn't realize before posting the article that you weren't able to have a personal connection to the subject - which is my mistake. Would this warrant deletion or is this only for articles that are obviously biased? I do see that articles such as Rob Feenie's (another well-known Canadian chef) were also created by authors with a COI (in this case, the company he was working for, Cactus Club Cafe), but haven't been deleted. Just trying to get the rules straight so as not to cause any issues in the future! Thanks!
