The result was speedy keep. WP:BEFORE clearly hasn't been followed. Early closing this along with the many other AfD discussions started by the same nominator. (non-admin closure) sst✈ 05:37, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep - then REFERENCE it..stop being lazy..always try to save or salvage articles before you nominate them for deletion..you did neither..--Stemoc 18:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- articles about living people require references. As it stands it is not verifiable.Rathfelder (talk) 21:45, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep Le Coq has won a César Award (French equivalent to Academy Awards), therefore deletion is out of the question. If a ref is missing it is probably just the same amout of work (and less hassle for others) to add it. Inwind (talk) 04:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I've told Rathfelder that "unreferenced" isn't a reason to take an article to AfD, as per WP:BEFORE. Stemoc and Inwind know what they're talking about, this discussion should be closed. Jared Preston (talk) 06:30, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
