It is obviously wrong to have an article about a person who raced one - 1 - race. According to the article, he even "never raced in a full Formula One World Championship race". Punkmorten (talk) 10:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Despite the article not saying so, he obviously competed in many many other races. They are just not mentioned here. Give us at WP:F1 time to expand and we will do so. Perrot competed in several other notable classes, but in a lot of these stub articles, only F1 was mentioned at first. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: A 76 year old Formula racer surely has some sources hidden away that can be plumbed? Now that the article has a champion, I'm with Bretonbanquet on this one. -- Oliver Twisted  (Talk)  11:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Assuming that we count car racing as a sport, this guy automatically passes WP:ATHLETE; and I agree with Bretonbanquet, surely you can't get in a race like this without ever having raced before. Nyttend (talk) 14:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have expanded the article to include Perrot's other exploits. As a European hillclimbing champion and a winner in Formula Two, he is certainly notable enough in my view. Hopefully other editors will agree :o) Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
