 * Comment. Wholly unremarkable career as an actor, but searches suggest he had a career in music and vaudeville that attracted some attention.  Potential references are almost wholly in French, and mine's a bit rusty, so I've no firm conclusion on notability here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:15, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. Quite likely to be notable, but as a lyricist for French operettas and revues (and quite likely standalone songs), not as an actor. However, finding substantial reliable sources online may be difficult - his career as a lyricist seems to have been at its peak during the 1920s and 1930s and, even though his work appears to have been nationally popular in France at that time, it seems always to have been closely tied to Marseilles. While the operettas are still occasionally revived in France, the sources we need are likely to be almost all in French and from several decades ago. Finally note that French Wikipedia has two completely separate articles on the subject: fr:René Sarvil and fr:Sarvil. Neither, unfortunately, is properly sourced by English Wikipedia standards, but both look as if they may be useful to a fluent French-speaker in working out where to look for sources.

 * Keep, French wiki article has more detail, indicates notability, should be possible to expand and but references. Google books has 470 hits for his name. --Soman (talk) 09:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
