François Vaillancourt

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about an artist, and not found any references from reliable, independent sources to add. I do not see that he meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:ARTIST. NB an earlier version of the article says the artist has worked on cover art for sci-fi books, so have sorted this in to that category. Tacyarg (talk) 21:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, Science fiction and fantasy, Visual arts,  and Canada. Tacyarg (talk) 21:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - This illustrator does not meet WP criteria for inclusion per GNG ANYBIO, BASIC nor NARTIST. A "before" search revealed sources for an economist who shares the same name (who actually may be notable per WP guidelines), however this François Vaillancourt is non-notable.

 * Delete WP:BEFORE does not bring up RS to show notability. I am only finding bibliography in the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. No RS for biographical info. Fails WP:ARTIST. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely unreferenced, does not cite any sources. Nothing shows this meets WP:ARTIST guidelines like "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Elspea756 (talk) 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
