Unremarkable graphic designer. KDS4444 (talk) 12:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The standards of notability in the frWP are in general higher than those here, and therefore I would not be comfortable deleting an article where there is an  unchallenged article  there on any Franch-related person or other topic. There is no indication that WP:BEFORE was carried out here.  DGG ( talk ) 23:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC).
