Guy of Nantes

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No sources (and since 2007 there has been no sources), little proven notability, unsure if this is a hoax. InvadingInvader (talk) 04:03, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. The de.wiki article has an extensive literature section, and the fr.wiki article cites sources. In addition a Google search satisfies me that this is not a hoax, with mentions here, where he appears as both Guido and Wido, mentions in this work where I can only see the index, and in footnote 3 here where he also appears as Wido.

 * Keep. WP:BEFORE fail. Srnec (talk) 16:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: I'm not gonna slam on the nominator for no doing a WP:BEFORE, but the sources extant in other language versions and his holding of notability-conferring positions demonstrate that this is thus a notable subject. Instead of dunking on the nominator, the nominator should be congratulated for bringing to attention an article in sore need of improvement. Curbon7 (talk) 20:20, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The majority of our articles on French noblemen and historical politicians look just like this; mostly or completely uncited with just a link to a different language version. It's quite sad honestly. Curbon7 (talk) 20:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The article is not unsourced, as it quotes from primary sources. The problem is that the precise references for the quotations are not given, but that should be capable of being remedied, probably from fr.wiki.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:47, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
