Delete per WP:N. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thierry Caro (talk) 23:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to pass WP:PROF. I don't know much about citation analysis, but Google Scholar seems to indicate his work is highly cited.  Moreover, GNews shows he's widely quoted as an expert in the international press.  His position may confer notability as well, but I'm not familiar with French academia. --Chris Johnson (talk) 23:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep No practical way to measure citations to his books with any accuracy, but directeur de recherche for the Centre national de la recherche scientifique is notable.
 * There is a misconception here. Directeur de recherche is a comparatively humble position at CNRS, the only research one directs is one's own, but nonetheless the subject's achievements make him notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC).


 * Keep per above. Doc Quintana (talk) 02:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Gnews gives him as a widely quoted expert, his citation counts are significant. Allowing for misunderstanding due to the language barrier, I'd still err on the side of keeping. Ray  Talk 01:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Would the nominator of this AfD, who prodded it two minutes after it was created, care to expand on his reasons for the nomination. Most other editors think it is notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC).
