WP:BLP of a textbook translator, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for translators. The strongest notability claim here, that he won a private internal award from a trade association, is not an automatic notability freebie without WP:GNG-worthy sourcing -- but the only attempt at "referencing" here is one of his books metaverifying its own existence, which is not the kind of sourcing we need to see. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced better than this. And we're much stricter on referencing articles properly than we were 20 years ago, so the fact that this was kept in an AFD discussion in 2005 is not definitive, especially since even some of the keep arguments at the time called for improvement that the article never saw.

 * Delete: This is a common name in Quebec and Canada, so I find hits on all types of individuals with this name. Nothing about this person in particular... The one source in the article is primary. I don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 23:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. After a perfunctory search, I, too, found no sources on this fellow. Toadspike   [Talk]  22:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
