I'm not going to claim that this is a WP:HOAX, but this person doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. I've found it virtually impossible to find sources (even unreliable) about him that are not Wikipedia mirrors. This is what I've found: [1] (passing mention; possibly another individual of the same name), [2] and [3] (unreliable source). The article says, "he received a légion d'honneur", but his name is not found at List of Légion d'honneur recipients by name; this is not conclusive, but somewhat fishy nevertheless.

Comment There's a lot of recipients of the Légion d'honneur; according to our article, there was (in 2010) 74,384 at the lowest rank and about 20,000 at higher ranks. This means he may well have it, but equally it's not a very strong indicator of notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:50, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sole reliable source is a passing mention of a promotion in an industry newsletter's generalized "people" section. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 13:09, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
