The previous nomination already mentioned that the subject is not notable and that Wikipedia is not a memorial.

A common reason for wanting to keep the article was that they were notable simply because they were a victom of the 2005 Paris suburb riots and that more information would be added as the media obtained and released more information, however this obviously did not happen. The only citation on there even returns a 404 error now.

Some people supported merging it with 2005 French riots, however 2005 French riots is already more exhaustive than the article.

Article has been sitting in limbo for 13 years. Time to let it go? -- The Man Known as Rektroth (talk) 01:26, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. Take a look at all the references available published over a span of several years by Le Figaro, or this Google News search. Nptability depends on the references that exist, not just on those referenced in the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:35, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Soft Delete - There may not be a specific guideline on this situation, but if an article has been tagged as needing references for more than five/ten/thirteen years and no one tags it, it is time to delete it and allow another editor to create a properly sourced article.

 * Redirect to 2005 French riots as there's nothing new to merge and as an WP:ATD. He's a name which seems to have staying power as pointed out by Eastmain but does not seem to have the sort of biographical detail or coverage we would expect of notable figures. A redirect serves our reader to where information can be found of interest. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:09, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. I actually might withdraw the nomination and propose the page be redirected and marked with .-- The Man Known as Rektroth (talk) 15:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Page nominated for deletion frwiki : fr:Discussion:Jean-Claude Irvoas/Suppression in 2012. There are many news items but the thing is, they are focused on the assassination (and right-wing political websites using his case, which are not what I'd call "reliable sources"). However, some national newspapers also described his life before such as Le Monde, which may help the WP article grow a bit. --- Bédévore [knock knock] 23:44, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
