Raphaël Reclus

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Possibly non-notable author. Two books, neither of which Google News Archives has ever heard of (but I admit that I'm not sure how well GNA covers French newspapers, etc.) No references that I can find to the author in Google News Archives at all. Unsourced for three years. Joe Decker (talk) 05:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: WorldCat lists the books mentioned in the article: La Table d'Hades (2002), Les Trois du Mayne (2003). I've found two reviews of the first book, however, I'm not sure whether the sources are significant and independent. The books were published on demand by a small publishing house Cylibris. There's no article "Raphaël Reclus" on the French Wikipedia. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Thank you for the pointer to WorldCat, I was unfamiliar with it and it looks like a useful tool.  --Joe Decker (talk) 15:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't know that lacking an article at fr.wiki is authoritative, but the lack of sources doesn't do anything to establish notability. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:11, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Possible existence of a fr:wiki article is surely not authoritative for this part of Wikipedia. The information could save time and searching of others.--Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:11, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete No significant coverage found at reliable sources - Google Books confirms the existance of the books named, but I can't find anything to show that Reclus meets WP:AUTHOR --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 14:05, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
