Very little coverage on Robert herself before her unfortunate death. More than a few passive mentions in articles covering her son's highly publicized sexual assault in Dubai, but that doesn't help much when it comes to her notability as a journalist.

 * Keep French wiki article has a source from Europe1 (among others) confirming she was given the Legion of Honor, making her notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Does being the recipient of a posthumous award automatically make one notable? Even when we consider that The Legion of Honor has been awarded to nearly a million individuals since its inception in 1802, and that over 2000 individuals receive the award annually?

 * Keep Extensive coverage in reliable sources in 2007 and 2017, plus the Legion of Honour - passes WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 20:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked into any other claim of notability, but the fact that she has been made a chevalier in the Legion of Honour doesn't confer any. It's equivalent to being an MBE in the UK (which my father, who would revolve very fast in his grave if anyone came near to considering him notable, was), at least two levels below anything at all notable.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep There is enough press in Switzerland which covers her death., , etc. For me she is clearly notable. 🤾‍♂️ Malo95 (talk) 07:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there any press in Switzerland which covers Robert or her journalism, and not the fact that a European journalist was killed in Iraq? ~ Mooonswimmer 13:39, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
