This french language article is about a man who is on a primary school committee. It reads more like a resume than an encyclopedia article. Clearly fails notability and verifiability tests. Furthermore, the author - User:BELANGERSB appears to be a single purpose account aimed at self promotion. 23 Benson (talk) 01:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The text has been posted numerous times in both French and English, but at all times it has essentially been a copy of text available at http://sylvainbelanger.ca. I have deleted it speedily as copyright violation a number of times, but it has been persistently re-posted verbatim. I have stopped this speedy deletion because I have realised that the author is probably the person who owns the rights to the text on the website, so there is probably a valid claim that the owner of the copyright on the website is the one posting the WP material. In any case, the person does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:11, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete per A7 (as tagged), there is no indication of notability. Armbrust Talk Contribs 13:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
