Jean-Luc Quevauvilliers
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Person is not notable and sources are flimsy blogs not accepted as news sources, including his own. Person uses extravagant language when describing himself with no references to back up the claims of "socialite", "philanthropist", "throwing weekly parties at nightclubs around New York City, which became highly popular amongst celebrities and the New York Elite", etc. When following the references provided for each claim, the website provided usually says no such thing. If person removed all the inaccurate information from this page, the page would be empty, that's why I say delete and not edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.145.67.124 (talk) 14:58, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I've gone through all of the references provided in the article, and none of them really pass muster as a reliable source with the possible exception of Top Billing; not to mention that some of them only mention his name. My own search doesn't turn up any coverage in reliable sources. So even if Top Billing is a reliable source (not sure), that represents only one source. -- Whpq (talk) 19:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete He appears to be an "ubiquitous socialite" in New York and seems to have done a lot for charity. But all of the adulatory references are from non-Reliable Sources. (I almost got fooled by the reference from WBHS, thinking it must be a TV station, but it turns out to be the high school he graduated from.) A search at Google News, under various spellings of his name  finds literally nothing. --MelanieN (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep- One of the references "Top Billing" is neither a print, nor web nor radio medium, but probably the best form of reference with the utmost reliability. Its an actual television interview. People who are saying "Delete" should maybe do some more research before giving their opinions, as "Top Billing" TV show happens to be one of the longest running, most reputabale television shows in South Africa, and broadcast in Europe, Australia and London, who interview only the top celebrities, socialites and personalities. If you think that "Top Billing" is not a reliable reference, than you have zero knowledge about how to do research. The interview makes reference to everything on this wiki page. To ask to delete something that is clearly referenced by one the most reliable sources you could get is outrageous and ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.66.230.3 (talk) 05:02, 7 May 2011 (UTC)  — 74.66.230.3 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Unfortunately, since the Top Billing source is an interview, all of the facts cited to it are actually from Jean-Luc himself, talking about himself - or from an interviewer asking him to talk about himself. Thus, the information is not independent as required for an independent, reliable source. --MelanieN (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
