Hoax. Article appeared on French Wikipedia on the 7th and is also tagged as a hoax there tagged for verifiability. No trace of this chap in an online search. Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Both articles created by same chap. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

No hits anywhere for the book listed in the article.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 09:40, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

NB - Twinkle flubbed, so I have had to list this by hand, hence discrepancy in dates. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 09:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Nom struck as per below - happy to say I was wrong in this instance. Would an uninvolved editor like to WP:SNOW close.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:55, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep See  concerning Baroux and AQPCS. and  also linking Baroux and AQPCS - and RS by WP standards.   French admittedly, but sufficient to establish reality and notability.   As for the book -- abebooks (owned by Amazon) shows 4 for sale.  "No hits" on a book should include looking on a bookselling list. Collect (talk) 14:30, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Here is a more "official" reference to the Book based in the National Library of Canada filed there in 1982: * La Méditation Intime (The Intimate Meditation) by Jean Baroux (1982): National Library of Canada

The external links (sources) which have just been added should provide sufficient evidence to credit and support this page. It should be retained on Wikipedia. --James debar (talk) 20:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Accusations of hoax struck, Library and Archives Canada definitely have a book by this guy  If no one else is interested enough to comment on this AfD, I guess we keep the article and James Debar gets to tell us more about the chap. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:19, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO: "the person has received a notable award or honor." Surely the Croix de guerre would qualify? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
