Does not meet Wikipedia's eligibility (notability) criteria. Extremely limited career. Severely lacking content and multiple reliable sources. WikiMeWiki (talk) 00:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:NACTOR with two prominent roles in notable films The Last Mistress and What the Day Owes the Night, also has four other screen credits. Atlantic306 (talk) 17:35, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that The Last Mistress had a Budget of $5.7 million and at the Box office made $1.8 million. What the Day Owes the Night (film) had a Budget of €13.2 million and made at the Box office US$2 million. Are films that fail to even breakeven considered notable works?

Keep -- Not only meets WP:NACTOR as mentioned above, but meets GNG as well. There's the source from The Age that's already used in the article, and a ton of stuff in French, e.g. [1]. Those two articles alone are enough for the GNG. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The two films he has been in weren't big budget ones and neither broke even at the box office. So they were failures, not notable films. Dream Focus 19:10, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sure, failures like, say, Un Chien Andalou or The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting. Thank god there are experts like you on Wikipedia. 37.117.118.138 (talk) 15:22, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The two films listed in his Filmography in his article are the ones I'm referring to. The two you just mentioned are one that cost < 100,000 francs and was 21 minutes long, and another that doesn't list its budget but it only 66 minutes long. Did either of this make any money? Dream Focus 15:45, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who cares? Whether a film makes money or not is basically irrelevant to notability. 37.117.118.138 (talk) 15:51, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What the Day Owes the Night (film) has no Reception section or any reliable sources mentioned in the article for that. Are there any in French someone can find for it? If it got no reliable sources talking about it, and it failed at the box office, then I don't think you could call it notable. Dream Focus 04:13, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets WP:NACTOR. Nowhere in WP:MOSFILM does it state that a film has to make money to have a WikiP article and the same is true for actors. MarnetteD|Talk 17:59, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 192.160.216.52|192.160.216.52 has proven that he passes the WP:GNG from coverage about him, so that's enough. Dream Focus 04:13, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
