It seems this individual has no works in English, just French, there is no interest for english speaking people Josef Kapp (talk) 19:17, 26 April 2019 (UTC) Creating deletion discussion for Bernard Blandre
 * Comment I'm not sure whether this individual is notable or not, but the reason offered for deletion is not acceptable. Not having works in English is not a reason for deletion.  Mccapra (talk) 19:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - While I haven't looked into this individual enough to have an opinion of their notability, the nomination does not provide a valid reason for deletion. Having their works be in a language other than English has no bearing on meeting the criteria for having an article.   Rorshacma (talk) 19:56, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - If I proposed and worded this way, it is because notability is also here linked to availability of works in English. If works were important, some would have been produced or translated in English, which is academics lingua franca since decades. --Josef Kapp (talk) 20:45, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. In the humanities, many scholars write in their native language. The sciences are a different matter (but there traditionally were a lot of Russian-language scientific journals – perhaps they are still being published). Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:11, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. No valid reason for deletion has been given. That the fact that an individual has books in French, but not English, does not mean that they are not notable. MarkZusab (talk) 21:54, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. As others have said, we have no valid deletion rationale. But on the assumption that we need a reason to keep, and not just a lack of reason to delete: I found five reviews of his books on JSTOR   , enough to convince me of a pass of WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:09, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment In the humanities the top ranking scholarship is normally carried on in the languages of a place. So the arguements to delete here totally fail. However notability needs to be proactively asserted, and I have not been able to determine that, so for now I am not weighing in on that.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep No valid deletion rationale has been advanced, and WP:AUTHOR is met. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:11, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * keep Just because it's not in English doesn't mean it's not notable. Seems to be notable as an author.Sandals1 (talk) 15:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per David Eppstein. Mccapra (talk) 05:30, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
