Article about the second to last person to be guillotined in France, this is his only claim to fame. While there is plenty of information on this person in French, with little English language content on Carrein, I'm not sure that he fulfills WP:N and WP:BIO for the purposes of the English Wikipedia. If I'm totally off base with this nomination, I apologize in advance, but (in my opinion) he has no worldwide significance that is shown on mentioned here.

There are those who study the history of the death penalty in Europe (France was the last country in Western Europe to abolish it, in 1981) who might find the article of interest (particularly if their knowledge of French is not of a high standard). I wouldn't say you're being off base, but I defend my article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WDH59510 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep based solely on nomination info. I don't think we can discriminate against sources just because they are not in English.  Much of the English speaking world traces ancestors back to France (US and Canada in particular). It would be good to have someone who speaks French look at it, but if a source passes wp:rs, the language isn't relevant.  I can't remember the exact policy on this, but if memory serves me, this has been codified.   P HARMBOY   ( moo )  00:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep "Plenty of information in French" amounts to "plenty of information". We have never discriminated against material sourced in other languages. The two sources in the frWP article are Le Monde, traditionally the most internationally notable French newspaper, analogous to The Times, and La Voix du Nord a major French regional newspaper, of over 1 million circulation according to its article in the frWP,  part of an international chain. Unquestionably RSs.  DGG (talk) 04:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
