Fails WP:BIO basics, mostly a WP:BIO1E person only known for being a winner of a reality show, which generally fails GNG guidelines. Suggest redirect to MasterChef Australia (series 7) instead. SanAnMan (talk) 21:45, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy Keep~~. One a group of Mass nominations largly based on a false premise, the claim of one event. egs Jackson was known for two series, 2014 and 2020. McKay is curently getting attention for the current season as well as the one she won. Cheliah also was in the current season. Chan is also a TV host with two seasons of a show titled with her name. Lazy nominations lacking any real before. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Seems to have completely dropped out of the public eye shortly after her first season aired before reappearing for the current series. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:57, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:BLP1E. All of the independent significant coverage is from the time of the competition win and therefore fails BLP1E due to WP:SUSTAINED. All of the other sources are either trivial, unreliable, or lack independence.4meter4 (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. BLP1E does not apply. McKay won Masterchef in 2015, was a mentor in 2019 and is competing in 2022. Each of these attracted coverage. She has maintained a public profile outside those periods such as a publicised 2017 visit to India as reported in South Africa, "India visit for chef McKay", Post (Durban, South Africa), 29 November 2017. Other articles from the tour include "Love chocolates? The Fat Duck chef Billie McKay tells what goes on inside Heston Blumenthal's kitchen", Financial Express (India), 17 November 2017 and "MasterChef - Australia says Indian food is adventurous", New Indian Express (Chennai, India), 18 November 2017. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:39, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appeared in multiple seasons of the program, winning one of them. Satisfies WP:SUSTAINED. WWGB (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Every winner of MasterChef Australia has a Wikipedia page, and there is no reason McKay shouldn't. McKay won series 7, and is currently in the Top 3 of series 14, still in contention for the title. This high level of excellence in the competition is enough to warrant a Wikipedia page, regardless of how hesitant McKay is to share her personal life. McKay is also one of the most popular contestants amongst fans, and won one of the most popular seasons in the history of the show.

Keep per duffbeerforme. Easily meets WP:SUSTAINED. Deus et lex (talk) 08:26, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per duffbeerforme, there is sustained coverage of the subject including outside of her participation in Masterchef. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:10, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
