Autobiography of an artist who doesn't appear to meet either WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 01:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Sidenotes:
 * User:Laurentlagamba, the creator of this article, has worked on the French version as well.
 * User:ConcernedVancouverite and I (among others) have tried to work with him to improve the article (see his talk page). He doesn't appear to be interested in discussion; instead, he just keeps re-adding the same large chunks of text that others have written about him.
 * Despite others having written those large chunks about him, I wasn't able to find information about him sufficient to write a sourced article. Someone who reads French may have better results.

 * Comment - I have also been unable to turn up significant reliable source coverage online in English. There may be some coverage in French, or in offline sources.  There is a long list of supposed sources listed on the page, with no links, and I tried searching for a random sample of them with no luck.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - I speak and read French quite well. In French, there are a number of blog posts about him, but nothing reliable. In English, I found this: but it's behind a paywall I can't get through, and it's the only one I found. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 17:16, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Thank you for trying to find sources in French, Jorgath. Given that information, and my inability to find things in English as well, it seems he does not pass notability, and hence the delete vote now.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
