Several people already asked that this page should be removed, but the main author of this page removed such requests quickly the first time.

This man seems not well known enough. I could find no article about him, no reliable source with his name on the internet.

This seems to be a kind of advertisment page, as is the french page, which has been mainly written by the same user, who only writes pages about this "institut de la bourse", his CEO, one guy working for it (french wikipedia page of Marc Touati, to add a link to french version of the present page), and something related to one product of this company (MSI 20000).

I add that the "institut de la Bourse" is a SARL (Société Anonyme à Responsabilité Limitée : anonymous socierty with limited responsability), with a capital of 10 000 euros http://www.institutdelabourse.fr/?section=accueil&page=avertissement

So I think this page has nothing to do in an encyclopedia, and should be removed.

 * Delete: Obviously, there is not even a claim of notability in the text of the article as it stands. It has a suggestion of expansion from the French Wikipedia article, but that is equally poorly sourced: its text (which tries to associate the subject with various names) is riddled with maintenance tags and the need for citation. No evidence that his company (Alexa rating beyond 3m) is notable despite its authoritative-sounding name; no evidence found from multiple searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google) that the subject is of biographical notability.

 * I'd think that being a CEO is a claim of notability, but it really doesn't matter anyways. Ansh666 18:08, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, the French article has more content but reads as a self-promotion essay without any more backup for notability. I'd also suggest investigating the other article authored by this user (in 2010) MSI 20000. It's an orphan since all that time and this forum post from that year notes that it is created by... "L’Institut de la Bourse". Wittylama 00:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – I've tried searching a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, but was not able to find any sources to help support WP:N notability. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:37, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
