Jean-François Porchez[edit]
Non-encylopedic or non-notable. Opes 20:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. 27,000 google hits with full (distinct) name in quotes and 'type.' The same, with "new york times," appears to show multiple mentions in New York Times articles. --Fuhghettaboutit 20:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep: The organization he is president of gets almost a quarter-million hits on Google. I moved his presidency - and the basis of his notability - to the front of the article where it should be. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, notable typographer. Sandstein 22:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. He has custom-designed the typeface used by Le Monde. He is also responsible for the typeface used for the signs of the Paris Métro. In addition, he is president of an international organisation for typography, and has received international awards for his work. I find notability rather obvious in this case. For the record, I removed the speedy tag Opes added to this article yesterday. u p p l a n d 23:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Designer of type and president of typography organization. Obviously notable. Logophile 01:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
