  • Comment: There was not much done prior to resubmission to help indicate why this person is notable. Currently there is a page Crip Up the Kitchen where the author name can be redirected to, but I do not see references indicating how the author is notable. There are some interviews, mentions, and a lot of social media, but no significant coverage in reliable sources. As opposed to declining, will leave it for another editor to review, but would advice submitter to point out the WP:THREE sources in the meantime that would help reviewers see notability of the subject.

  • Comment: Some feedback: the vast majority of sources are not independent. They are all links to what Jules Sherred has created by himself. We need independent sources to make sure that all viewpoints are represented(not just Sherred's). Interviews are not considered independent. He has been cited a couple of times in news articles, but that's about it in terms of independent coverage. The help page WP:42 is a handy guide to what we are looking for. Good luck! Ca talk to me! 12:56, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Early life[edit]

Career[edit]

Geek Media Personality[edit]

Sherred began his career in entertainment in 2008 as a radio personality for Party 934. During his time at Party 934, he created the Geeky Pleasures Radio Show, a geek entertainment show where he would occasionally interview geek entertainers[7]. From his radio show, the Geeky Pleasures blog was born. He shut down both the Geeky Pleasures website and radio show in 2013 after getting doxed[8]. During this time, he also wrote for Wired[9], Nerdy With Children[10], and Quirk Books. While writing for GeekDad, he wrote an article about Canadian English that has been widely cited by academics and media alike[11][12]. He wrote for GeekDad until 2019[13]

Photography[edit]

In 2022, he produced the art exhibit Nourish: A Celebration[16] at the Cowichan Valley Arts Council gallery. He was a staff writer for Fstoppers[17]. His commercial photography business is called Polaris Creative.[16]

Political and advocacy work[edit]

In 2017, Sherred worked on Jagmeet Singh's NDP Leadership Campaign, helping to create his campaign's LGBTQ2 policies[18]; policies which would later become part of official NDP policy. In 2019. Sherred was campaign manager for incumbent NDP MP Alistair McGregor[18][19][20]. Throughout 2021, he worked with No Conversion Canada and lawmakers in Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti's office to ensure transgender people and people undergoing conversion therapy in healthcare settings were included in the Canadian conversion therapy ban[21]

In 2019, Sherred created the website Disabled Kitchen and Garden because of a need to include disabled voices and resources in food spaces[22]. This website was the foundation for his first cookbook Crip Up the Kitchen: Tools, Tips and Recipes for the Disabled Cook, for which he received funding from the Canada Council for the Arts[23]. Crip Up the Kitchen is the first major change to how recipes have been written since the 1950s[24][25], including a novel approach to organizing recipes by the energy required to prepare them[26][27]
