 * delete. Reason: WP:SPIP and WP:SIGCOV. The page specifically lacks "significant coverage" and is not "independent of the subject". The page for this person was deleted on French Wikipedia for lack of notability. In fact, the French page was created and "maintained" by Loïc Dachary himself, aka heavy self promotion. The English WP entry at least was created by another person, however Dachary has regularly edited and added his projects on the page and used it like his personal CV. Most of these projects are not of significant notability that would distinguish him from other (free) software developers/advocates. On top of that, the majority of the references in the page are self-referential and link to pages/projects he has created himself. --Erdpferd (talk) 18:21, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have in the past edited this page a number of times to cut out the most significant bits of self promotion and I'm happy he has himself now added his page to the deletion roster after the French page was taken down. Erdpferd (talk) 18:25, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
