I can't find any reliable sources covering the subject. Even the provided link to his biography page on African Success just says that his biography hasn't been written yet. Per WP:WORLDVIEW, I'd encourage French-speaking editors (and particularly those familiar with Senegalese sources) to find coverage, but in the absence of sources I have to conclude that the subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:35, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that it is more productive to encourage English-speaking editors from the French Wikipedia ;) Regards, Comte0 (talk) 00:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

has article on French WP. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the French WP article has no references. It does contain some links to databases of which libraries hold the subject's books, but if I'm reading this correctly, it seems that these databases claim that very few libraries hold them. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:41, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete so few hits come up in searches, and they are so inadequate, that I am confident that there is no notability here.E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:00, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. Deb (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Even his own webpage, which lists some of his works, doesn't claim notability - no awards, etc. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON. Ifnord (talk) 02:01, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
