Fails WP:GNG. I tagged it for speedy deletion, but another administrator declined it because Delemotte is "associated with notable people". To the extent that's a valid reason for declining an A7, it's certainly not a valid reason for keeping an article. The subject has to be notable in their own right.

I didn't just do that, I also added a news source where he is name checked. I can't do much more because he appears primarily in French news pieces which will take time to sort out. I am tending towards "keep" or "merge" but I would like to evaluate the news pieces first. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:45, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that. It ain't much of a mention. But I'm not invested in this. If the community decides to keep the article, I have no problem with that.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sure, my point was rather than adding a source to an article is a far stronger case for declining a speedy than just "well, it doesn't really look like one I guess" Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:15, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
