Deletion requested by subject of BLP article per OTRS ticket #2010061410002129 Geoff  Who, me?  18:01, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the subject wants this article deleting we should respect that. Although the subject has achieved a lot in her life, she is not so important that WP ought to have an article about her. Thincat (talk) 20:12, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Question What is the scope of the requested deletion: English-language Wikipedia or all versions? The [French biography] covers the same information as the English, but with more depth on her ongoing socio-political campaigning, with additional newspaper links (and also various citations required). AllyD (talk) 07:05, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Her request is for deletion of all articles on all wikis, specifically to include the French version, but since I am not French-speaking, nor active on fr.wikpedia, I posted here while advising Ms. Bourdon to contact fr.wikipedia directly. "One small step..." Geoff  Who, me?  17:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - she seems to be quite notable from those french news, books, and scholar hits. I'd just insist on carefully citing her biography. Morbidthoughts (talk) 23:44, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep There seem to be a stack of French-language references in the French language version of the article. If a French speaker can confirm the nature of the references, I'll reconsider. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Wikipedia article formerly focused on her porno acting without sourcing the information. I revised the article to focus on what is covered by the reliable sources, which hopefully should address the reason behind the OTSR ticket and her request for the article to be deleted. One of the news articles mentions her recently pissing off her neighbors, calling a lot of different authorities, and then receiving a letter recommending to her to receive psychiatric consultation. The previously unsourced Wikipedia article focusing only on her porno acting may have added fuel to the fire, so it would be good if someone would put the article on their watch list to ensure no further BLP problems. The topic meets WP:GNG. Some references (there's others but I couldn't find URLs): . -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:15, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Quite notable in France with abundant sources, especially about her porn, artistic and political activities in favor of the European Union. Clearly a person with many interests and many lives. Hektor (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
