Does not appear to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Has been in CAT:NN for 14 years, so hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 20:40, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Delete. There are multiple people by the same name, and they barely come up. I cannot find anything in-depth and independent from the subject. Aintabli (talk) 04:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Delete The French version of this article is extensively sourced. See fr:Christian Lapointe Nfitz (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- I originally accidently typed delete instead of keep - which I didn't actually think was possible! I've struck this vote and made it clear below. Sorry for the confusion everyone! Nfitz (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Originally closed as "delete", but restored per Nfitz's request on my talk page as they meant to !vote "keep" above.

- Keep The French version of this article is extensively sourced. See fr:Christian Lapointe. Nfitz (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep There are two Wikipedia article entries on him with the fr WP being the most developed. There is a mix of journal, newspapers and magazines sources with reviews which seem valid, which makes him notable. I don't mind adding the dude to my todo list, get it done sometime this year. Its only a couple days work. We can get rid of notability tag to get it off the CAT:NN list. scope_creepTalk 15:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Nfitz and scope_creep. The article appears to have previously not been linked with the French Wikipedia version. I have linked the articles. Aintabli (talk) 01:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Notability is demonstrated at the French Wikipedia article. SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:15, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Agreed, the French version of this article is extensively sourced. See fr:Christian Lapointe. I have quickly added three secondary sources, although they are all pointing to French language theatre news articles Avignonesi (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Draftify until the en:WP article meets en:WP standards of notability. If the fr:WP article cites ample sources, then someone (with better French than me) can use them in the en:WP article. Maproom (talk) 11:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't using deletion as cleanup violate policy? This isn't a newly created article, nor is there a question that it can be improved (as per the second language example). Nfitz (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
- It does violate policy. The subject passes WP:N. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
