Very questionable notability. Claims he was the "Director of Food and beverage" at the Playboy Mansion, and goes on to describe a bed and breakfast he owns and operates, which sounds very much like an advertisement. Nominating as it fails

- Delete I am finding somewhat significant coverage of Mr. Bloxsom-Carter over a period of years, from 2011 to the present, not just passing mentions, but focus articles, such as this from Bloomberg and this from Haute Living, both focused on his work as a chef at the Playboy Mansion, plus mentions of his wine judging, such as this from Into Wine and this from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Passing mentions of his role of chef include one from the Examiner (www.examiner.com/article/ronnie-james-dio-cancer-fund-hosts-first-awards-gala-at-playboy-mansion - a blacklisted source) and even, in Spanish, this from Caras (with the interesting title Hugh Hefner y el fin del nido de amor (Hugh Hefner and the end of the love nest). I am concerned that the creator is a reliable sourcing. That latter focus of the article and the relative paucity of sources for what is reportedly a 25+ year career is why I ended up !voting to delete. At a minimum, I'd suggest removing or heavily editing/sourcing the B&B part if the article remains. Geoff | Who, me? 22:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)]
- Comment:I neutralized the language in the lead, and completely removed the section about the B&B because it seemed irrelevant to a biography. What remains is a stub about a chef, so I tagged it accordingly. As to notability, our guidelines don't require that a person be notable throughout his career, so I don't see that as an issue. Significant coverage is sufficient. The question is, is the coverage of this chef along the lines of what one would expect for a chef, or is the coverage beyond "par for the course" for this topic? The closest guideline we have may be talk) 20:34, 4 April 2016 (UTC)]
