Does not appear to be notable. A search for minu "Hans-Peter Hammel" (that's his real name) in gnews gets one hit, which isn't helpful. A search for minu Kuchiklatsch (that's his cooking show) in gnews gets no hits. Few google hits generally. The station that his cooking show is on is regional and does not seem to attract that many viewers.[1] Having a German speaker look at this would be useful, as most potential sources are in German.

Keep but improve. Probably the best-known journalist of Basel and a local celebrity there. Coverage includes [2], originally published in Die Weltwoche, and [3], a Neue Zürcher Zeitung documentary film about Basel that dedicates about 5 of 35 minutes to Hammel.

Neither of the sources you cited offers any real substantive information that would allow us to write a biography of this man. If sources exist that would satisfy WP:N, these aren't them. Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "The best known journalist of Basel"--the third-largest city in Switzerland--is never going to meet notability standards for being merely that. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK. Belongs on the Basel wiki, if there is one. Qworty (talk) 18:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

"third-largest city in Switzerland--is never going to meet notability standards for being merely that."
Ahem
"Basel also has suburbs in France and Germany. With 830,000 inhabitants in the tri-national metropolitan area as of 2004, Basel is Switzerland's second-largest urban area"
Keep: if he is a celeb of Basel then referenced he would be notable; one need not do a full biography, just write down what he's done and how he is viewed. AerobicFox (talk) 02:15, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
