• Comment: What about the French teams he played for? --Eastmain (talk) 16:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Answer: If you check the infobox he apparently made no appearances for any of those teams. – ukexpat (talk) 16:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The infobox at that point was wrong/not fully completed, it has now been corrected -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• L'Equipe says that he played 12 times for Guingamp in Ligue 2. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: He has made no official appearances, and thus, he is an insignificant asset to his team(s) and insignificant as an athlete. Article should be recreated later when Jean-Francois makes an appearance in a game. Imhyunho (talk) 17:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • See my links below which confirm that he has in fact played 20 matches in fully professional leagues -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:16, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong keep: If it can be confirmed that he played in twenty matches, then he certainly meets the WP:ATHLETE criteria. Imhyunho (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • • If you are changing your !vote, you may wish to strike out your earlier "delete"....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Looks like he fails WP:ATHLETE. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:17, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. He definitely played in the SPL for Falkirk.[1] I remember watching him! The page should also be moved to Jean-François Lescinel, his names are the wrong way round in the title. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep based on appearances for Guingamp and Falkirk in fully professional leagues, thereby easily satisfying WP:ATHLETE -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Has played in a fully professional league as Ligue 2 is a fully professional league. Therefore passes WP:ATHLETE.--Latouffedisco (talk) 09:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per previous posters. Punkmorten (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep passes WP:ATHLETE having played in a fully-pro league. --Jimbo^[online] 12:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - clearly passes WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 16:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep He is part of Haitis national team and has played 12 games for Guingamp in 2006-2007, for a total of 635 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.42.116.112 (talk)
• Keep with confirmation of appearances. matt91486 (talk) 23:19, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
