Hi, I'm happy to update this article if the community has pointers on making it sound less promotional. I created the article based on the media available to me, which all seemed to be pretty positive toward the subject's career. I'm open to recommendations, and will check back here and on my talk page for feedback. Thanks!

I've updated the article to remove promotional-sounding language - please review and let me know if there are other opportunities to improve the article. TardyMarmot (talk) 23:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Arguments focusing on the subject's notability would help here.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Michig (talk) 08:48, 13 October 2018 (UTC) The subject is notable in the finance industry, particularly French finance, as the first Frenchman in recent history to be appointed to an executive position at Lazard Ltd. He is also known for having advised on the merger of Gaz de France and Suez, which became GDF Suez and later Engie, a major French utility company. TardyMarmot (talk) 23:15, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: I looked through the sources. I see a few passing mentions, an "executive profile" on Bloomberg (not journalistic coverage), some primary sourcing (press releases), and other non-useful sources. We summaries of independent and comprehensive journalistic coverage to build Wikipedia articles. Waggie (talk) 03:57, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
