 * Weak keep His works (mainly his French biography of Calamity Jane (Calamity Jane. Mémoires de l’Ouest) and an exhibition on the same subject) attracted the attention of important French media:,  (L'Express),  (Paris Match),  (Libération),  (Metro International) etc. It is true that the sources discuss mainly Calamity Jane, but I think the researcher could be mentioned here as well. I can't find any reliable sources discussing his film works. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:18, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Possible keep He seems to have got quite a lot of coverage as an expert on Calamity Jane. In addition to the above, I found a short article in a non-online magazine (Christelle Gérand, "La féministe du Far West", France-Amérique; 2/1/2011, Vol. 4 Issue 2, p4, 1p) which is largely about Monro, discussing book and exhibition based on his collection of Calamity Jane memorabilia; this online review; a stamp collecting magazine that claims to have an interview with Monro; and an article on the exhibition that briefly praises his book. On the other hand, it's a very short article and could be merged into Calamity Jane if other people feel it's not notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:03, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Sourcing looks good, coverage is available for more about his book; multiple independent sourcing over time(2007, 2011) = Notability. So, expansion and improvement is possible, so deletion is not warranted. See WP:BEFORE. --Lexein (talk) 16:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
