You really should not just move articles without a consensus. Usually you state on the articles talk page that you would like to do this and then tag the article appropriately. I am not saying the move is good or bad, there is just a proper democratic process for doing this here.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 18:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article about Tim Ryan

An article is created when the subject is deemed notable in his or her own right. Notability is not inherited. If you cannot find any significant information about Ryan as a person (as opposed to being president of the cooking school), then perhaps there is not any notability. If he is notable, you need to provide reliable, impartial, third-party sources documenting his notability. What is his academic background; what did he do before coming to CIA; what books and papers has he had published? --Orange Mike 17:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I repeat, you need to provide reliable, impartial, third-party sources documenting his notability. Where are the footnotes to newspaper and magazine articles, books, etc.? Are these prizes truly notable, or are they redlinked because the organizations and/or awards are not of note? (And always, avoid peacock words.)You say he has notability for his academic office, but all the stuff I see is about him as a cook. I don't pretend to be an expert in food-related subjects; you might want to consult with somebody at Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink! --Orange Mike 18:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Ryan

I've noticed your attempt to get some CIA info. on Wikipedia, and I'd love to help you. Some of the issues you are having is that you are copying information from websites which is plagiarism, and Wikipedia could get in legal trouble for users adding such information to the encyclopedia. I'm sure you have looked at the CIA article after I edited it to remove the plagiarism, and as such think of that when you are trying to create the article for Dr. Ryan. What you also need to do is try to find other sources outside of the CIA website to source your edits. Good places to look would be the World Association of Chefs website, along with information in the CIA text books and The Making of a Chef by Michael Rhulman. When I am done with the semester I will take the time to work on the article as well. He is clearly a notable academic is should have an article on Wikipedia, we just need to go about it in the proper Wikipedia format.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC (talk) 06:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
