''If it were in English, it wouldn't be up for deletion. This is just another instance of the Anglocentric bias that permeates English Wikipedia.'' I vote keep. Philologick (talk) 07:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Phil, you haven't seen the tenacity of editors who believe that a phrase uttered can never be notable. As for any Anglocentric bias, a certain amount is explained, and expected, because of the English part of English Wikipedia. The issue of whether corss wiki notability exists and is legitimate is another can of worms. L3X1 (distænt write)  19:00, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What you just said is covered by the NPOV FAQ. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 19:22, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Also in WP:BIAS. L3X1 (distænt write)  21:38, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - This has been covered extensively in multiple reliable sources, thus making it pass our general notability guidelines. It has even been the subject of an article in Le Monde. RileyBugz 会話投稿記録 12:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep (Disclaimer: I'm the creator of the article) That expression has entered the french language. Google scholar lists 384 results, one of which being a book on the insecurity concept, written by fr:Laurent_Bonelli. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 18:07, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Searching for the translation "France is afraid" yields another book which reference a cover page from the Le Figaro newspaper about the Thierry Paulin affair; cairn.info report that it is the November 12, 1984 issue . Comte0 (talk) 18:26, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTNEO, points in favour are not relevant here. Perhaps it could alternatively be merged with the article on the case involved - Patrick Henry, where its content might be of some relevance.--Mevagiss (talk) 11:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete references cited only obliquely refer to the subject and don't confer notability, agree with proposer--Runwayrollr (talk) 18:30, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Very non notable phrase with trivial mention in the press. More influential people (like politician) always make phrases and odd statements but the media hype they received (which is larger than this) cannot make them notable. Notability is not about searching and founding any string of words that matches and present them as sources. This encyclopedia article Use-mention distinction gives more informative view why mentioning of phrase cannot mean it is described (thus notable). Ammarpad (talk)14:56, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Even on the French Wikipedia it's a stub where the only comment on its talk page is a question whether or not it deserves an article. Ifnord (talk) 15:51, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
