Jean Borde

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD'd by me earlier tonight and de-PROD'd within nine minutes by, a user with six edits who I believe is the subject or an associate, based on the fact that three of those edits concern Mr. Borde or his projects. And whose last edit was June 20th, prior to swooping in to remove the PROD. I have left a note on his talk page asking him to identify if he has a COI.

For the record although I know a COI isn't grounds for deletion in and of itself: it is obvious that the subject is the creator (User:Web2008editor, formerly known as Bordeglobal until a rename in 2016). As if the name weren't a dead giveaway, the creating account has very few other edits but until 2012 periodically returned to update the article with Borde's latest pet projects. That account's only other edits (including deleted edits) were to projects Borde is involved in.

All that aside: despite extensive searching I can't find any independent sources that verify the subject's notability under any guideline - WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, WP:ARTIST, etc. All the sources linked in the article are self-published by the subject or are otherwise not reliable. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 11:15, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
