 * Keep. The source given in the external links section contains a reasonable depth of coverage; enough for a short article at least. Google Books turns up a number of other mentions in sources about Calvin. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's also worth noting that there are articles on Gruet at fr:Jacques Gruet, de:Jacques Gruet, and es:Jacques Gruet (all of which are longer than this stub was when it was nominated). –&#8239;Joe (talk) 22:49, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete ; this seems to be a WP:BIO1E case, the man is known only for being a victim of Calvin's theocratic regime. Unless there is anything more of substance to say about this man than what is already at John Calvin, but I doubt it.  Sandstein   20:56, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Changed to Keep per 's improvements noted below. Thanks!  Sandstein   08:39, 21 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - I've cleaned up one citation, added another, both of which are in depth discussions of the Gruet affair which do provide a few details more generally on his life. I've expanded the article a bit as well. Plenty of passing and one or two paragraph discussions of the affair can be found on google books. I'll try to find a full version of this article, which might give a bit more. If pressed, the article could be retitled something like, The arrest, trial, death, and burning of books of Jacques Gruet, but that seems silly. Smmurphy(Talk) 23:44, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added quite a bit of material to the page and I think I'm finished for now. Given the importance of his political activities discussed in Berriot 1979 (to which I linked in my previous comment), I have struck my tongue-in-cheek suggestion that a renaming could make sense, as I don't think 1E applies at all anymore.

 * Keep -- Calvin is criticised for the regime that he had at Geneva and I take it this man was a victim of that. If so, he is certainly notable, though we probably know little of him but the circumstances of his death.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:55, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
