Rémi Gaillard

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Tag placed for sourcing in february 2010, which was not addressed properly since then. This article has -almost- no source other than YouTube videos basically only linking to sections describing the videos that in turn amount to WP:OR. The notability of the subject is itself very border line per WP:ANYBIO. Thanks - [Charlie Echo Tango]  05:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: There do seem to be quite a few legitimate news hits for the subject on Google News--almost all of them in French--and somewhat better sourcing is given in the article on French Wikipediafr:Rémi Gaillard.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * As a user of both wikis, I agree the french wikipedia article is much better, thank you for pointing that. There is also very good refs on the article. But if the issues on the en.wiki article are not addressed, I still stand by this AfD, this article just has too many problems (starting with the list of videos and there description (WP:OR)), and the notability is still border line for the en.wiki in my opinion. If the issues are addressed and the article is significantly improved, than I will happily retract this AfD, but I am not willing to improve or translate the article from the fr.wiki and not very sure about the notability of the subject per the en.wiki guidelines. Cheers - [Charlie Echo Tango]  07:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, turns out I'm willing in the end, but I might not do a very good translation job, not used to translating french to english. Thanks to everyone for your comments. [Charlie Echo Tango]  07:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup. AfD is not an alternative if you simply can't be bothered to fix the issues on the article. If reliable sources that assert notability exist on the French wiki then its safe to say that they could be used to assert notability on the English wiki as well.  It sounds like you're in an ideal position to do this as you stated you use both wikis, but if you don't wish to then that's up to you.  &mdash;gorgan_almighty (talk) 13:45, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep If the French wiki establishes notability then that is enough. Being incomplete is NOT grounds for deletion.  Francis Bond (talk) 17:22, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets WP:BIO, sourced, referenced. It's simple. Keep. <i style="font-family:Rockwell; font-size:medium; color:red;">Rusted AutoParts</i> (talk) 11:04 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * weak Keep is he not mentioned in wired? thats a pretty good secondary source. if the french article is better developed, might be a good transwiki article. Needs improvements but some sources seem to already be present Ottawa4ever (talk) 17:01, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - looks to have just enough general coverage to meet basic notability requirements. GiantSnowman 00:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable, refimprove is not a valid reason for deletion in this case. Ban  Ray  06:15, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
