Seems to fail WP:GNG. The article's sources are mainly primary sources and a couple of passing mentions. My search for additional sources (aided heavily by machine translation) came up with little more. I cannot find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject here. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 15:19, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Delete The sources are suspect, but more troubling is the puff piece aspect. It reads like something from a press release by a publicist. Further, this young man does not meet the notability standard.Purplethree (talk) 17:11, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Below the notability standard. No significant sources. QuiteUnusual (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Author is quoted several times on high profile, non-editable quote websites. He has 5 published science-fiction novels, one of which (The Ghost and the Storyteller) has been ranking in the top 100 on Amazon.fr according to his website and several Monegasque revues. He is listed by several outlets as a child prodigy. I believe this puts the article well above the threshold. 15:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaharadjaPokemon (talk • contribs)

 * "'Keep"' A group of users has been attacking this page due to manufactured claims and has been deleting all other arguments for maintaining the page. A clear example of a vocal minority bullying a large majority of wiki readers. This debate should be dropped, claims are illegitimate but I guess this will be magically deleted too...
