Laurent Sourisseau

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Average Charlie Hebdo contributor, fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO, a search yields mainly Facebook, linkedin and similar stuff. Brief mentions due to recent shooting, virtually no RS to compile a meaningful bio. Brandmeistertalk  21:23, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * this man is known as "Riss" and is one of the main cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo, he is worthy of inclusion and is known in France ( see his French Wiki ). His illustrations appear often on the cover of Hebdo see HesioneHushabye (talk) 22:31, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Saw his, but I doubt that merely being a satirical cartoonist warrants an inclusion. The French Wiki basically only lists his works. Brandmeistertalk  23:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)


 * you are missing the point that he was shot in the meeting and one of the main cartoonists of this magazine Charlie Hebdo, and a known cartoonist in France with his own Wiki to chronicle his many 'works', that appear on the cover of the magazine often as I linked above.

 * Keep If he was not notable before he sure is now, but sounds like he was notable. Legacypac (talk) 07:48, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability as cartoonist and as terrorism victim. Hektor (talk) 10:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Easily meets WP:BASIC even prior to the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Sam Sing! 18:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep and close discussion - Obviously notable.  Royal Mate1  03:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, close discussion, and a stern warning for the editor who proposed the deletion* - Obviously notable as a published author and famous cartoonist, even before he was shot by Islamic terrorists for drawing famous Charlie Hebdo covers like "The Koran is shit, it doesn't stop bullets", and the one of the pig. But now has 22,000 results for "Charlie Hebdo Riss" on Google News, 3,520 for "Laurent Sourisseau", 3,270 for "koran stop bullets". Has 4 million people marching in the street in protest against the attack on him, and world leaders praising (and decrying) him. Carl Kenner (talk) 07:04, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, like others have said, enough sources to show notability, and definitely now after the shooting. -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 15:49, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep While by no means the gold standard, the fact that the subject is covered by a few of the other languages speaks volumes. Juno (talk) 07:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
