Christian Drapeau

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Author/academic with no apparent claim of notability. Tagged for notability since early 2010 without improvement, no better sources found. Article creator shares a name with the publishing house of a couple of subject's books. -- Finngall  talk  18:51, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, Enough news sources cover him in both a positive and negative light that I think he's... just barely deserving. Note that in the Huffpost article by Raymond L. Flynn, Flynn is noted as an advisor to Drapeau's company, while in other articles like this one in the Boston Herald, he is not. This article appears in the Le Devoir, although it is a bit promotional in tone.  Perhaps more interesting in terms of balance are articles like this one calling his work a "load of bollocks". I think it would be good for there to be a balanced source on his notable yet controversial 'work', rather than no source at all.New Media Theorist (talk) 03:56, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: This discussion would benefit from more participants. sst✈ 02:45, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now but draft and userfy if needed as I'm not seeing much to convince to even weak keep as I found hardly much aside from passing mentions at Books, News, browser and Highbeam. If this can be better improved, feel free but I'm not seeing much to convince me at this time. SwisterTwister   talk  05:41, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Author of books with very little significance -- most have only 5 or so holdings in worldcat. His stem cell book has 37 holdings, which for a popular science work on this topics is insignificant also. Google Scholar shows some early papers on algae if it's the same person, and it might be because of a previous fad in the use of algae in human nutrition. Doesn't raise to the level of notability here either. No academic position that I can trace. Not just delete for now, but delete.  DGG ( talk ) 16:34, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
