Non-notable figure skater; absolutely does not meet the criteria of WP:NSKATE, with zero senior-level competition and zero junior-level international medal placements. Despite the volume of provided sources, most of those are competition results and databases, and what isn't appears to mostly be skating blogs. I'll let the community decide whether what's there qualifies as "significant coverage." Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A fair bit found on this one such as in the Granby Express [1], the QuinteNews [2] and [3] and also in the Journal deChambly [4] and [5]. Canary757 (talk) 06:53, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Of the sources uncovered in this discussion, I don't think the first three sources are WP:SIGCOV as they are all routine announcements and/or just a few sentences. The Journal deChambly articles look good, but I'd like to see at least one more source from another outlet before voting keep. Let'srun (talk) 23:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is some more at [6] from Le Monteregion.com. It's not perfect and focuses on him and his skating partner and its got quite a bit of interview in it, but there are details too about their career etc.Canary757 (talk) 07:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist; @Let'srun: did you manage to see the source Canary757 pointed out, can you judge based on that and the initial one?

Weak keep: Le Journal de Chambly & la Voix de l'Est both have some non-trivial articles. These two plus the various other shorter pieces I think combine to barely clear the bar for notability. It's not the most clear cut, but this can pass a generous read of WP:NBASIC. Some of the interviews are pretty fluffy and not much use, but there should at least be enough reliable information in there to write a short article without risking original research. Just barely.
