The article as it exists doesn't really make a claim to notability and gives no information about him. So I looked for more information online, but all I found, aside from Wiki, was Genealogy pages and occasional references to modern people with similar names D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  03:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least for now. Note that we have Category:Convicted book thieves and an article Bibliomania. Obsessive book thieves can be notable, as rare book librarians know all too well.  In this case, the reliable sources are likely to be in French, which I don't read.  If a French speaking editor is unable to find any reliable sources, I will change my recommendation.

 * weak keep I've tagged the article as needing sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:01, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The page has been up for almost a year now, and consists of exactly one sentence. There is no evidence that this man specifically is of any note. If more reliable sources are found in the future, the page will be easy to recreate in a more substantial form, but for now there is simply nothing worth keeping here. --Djohns21 (talk) 02:08, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. With apparently only one brief mention in one book, the coverage is too thin for notability per WP:BIO.  Sandstein   05:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The lack of an article within the French Wikipedia does not help his case. Location (talk) 05:35, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
