The article was tagged as WP:G11. In looking at the article, I felt that the only real notability for Martin was his company. Being a billionaire in and of itself does not confer notability. So I redirected the article to the company, but the author reverted that, so here we are. Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The articles in Le Monde and several of the other sources are about Martin rather than his company, and are enough for notability.----Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:44, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not sure why the article was tagged as blatantly promotional. There aren't any specific notability standards delineated for entrepreneurs/businesspeople, so in all honesty, I presumed the subject would be notable on the grounds that they are one of the richest people in their country and the founder of quite an influential company. Not to mention the press coverage from a number of reliable sources... Mooonswimmer (talk)
Keep Being billionaire is not a notability factor, but there are some good coverage here such as the ones in lesechos.fr, lemonde.fr and entreprendre.fr. Chelokabob (talk) 09:04, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, There is enough coverage and he is notable as the founder of the company.This article also exists in French Wikipedia. Alex-h (talk) 13:02, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seems enough RS for him to be notable, including feature article in Le Monde. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: clearly notable...hard to see why this article was even tagged? - Ret.Prof (talk) 05:13, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
