 * Keep, expand. I replaced the link by a working one. There is plenty of text in French and a long list of films. Looks clearly notable to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * That sole reference is not an independent source, but a text provided by the artist: it is identical to the biography on his own website. Fram (talk) 07:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Better that than a link that doesn't work at all, imho. Also: that a composers' union quotes it is different from just a person's website. Anyway, I added more sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I found [francetvinfo.fr this] and as I don't speak French, put it under external links. If he indeed composed music for Macron's campaign - and that's what I read - he should be notable enough, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't know where you guys draw the line between non-notable and notable musicians, but he was indeed prominent enough to compose music for the Macron campaign, in addition to being hired to write scores for films.--Berig (talk) 09:31, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. The biographical sources aren't great (but some amount of SPS can be acceptable), but there are some mentions that make him notable. There's a minor scandal about a campaign hymn he composed for Sarkozy (related to the fr:Affaire Bygmalion). The film Sur le chemin d'école is notable (César for best documentary 2013), but I have only found very short references to Laurent Ferlet's work. —Kusma (talk) 16:55, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, enough mentions and sources for notability.Jackattack1597 (talk) 18:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes criteria 1 of WP:COMPOSER. Written music for films covered not just in French language publications but also in prominent English language publications like Variety.4meter4 (talk) 20:05, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
