Vincent Thibault

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a writer, which makes no substantive claim of notability that would pass WP:AUTHOR. Titles were published almost exclusively by print-on-demand services. Almost a word for word translation of his article at fr:Vincent Thibault, which doesn't actually make a stronger claim of notability or source it any better (and hence should probably be considered for deletion even there) — and given the writer's interest in predominantly Japanese cultural themes, I have reason to suspect that User:Daisuke.masaru, the creator of both the English and French articles, is actually the subject himself. Delete unless real sourcing can be added to properly verify his notability. Bearcat (talk) 01:19, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:AUTHOR, writing books is insufficient by itself for notability.--Rpclod (talk) 03:22, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
