User:Paul Vaurie, the creator of this article, has asked for a discussion on the notability of the subject. Baron does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as he has never played in a match between two teams playing in fully professional leagues. He has, however, played in a national cup final. With that being said, there does not apparently look to be a wealth of coverage specifically about Baron available. I did a French search in DDG, which came up with nothing. I also searched L'Express and Libération none of which go back far enough. There is this brief article in La Voix du Nord but, ideally, we would need to see more before we can definitely conclude that Baron passes WP:GNG.

For sports related searches, you should search L'équipe. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 20:20, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I actually found some results on France Football ([1]). They consider the final of the 1999–2000 Coupe de France he lost with Calais to be notable. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, these are all comments written by Baron rather than about him. Consensus at AfD is that comments written by the subject do not establish notability. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. There looks to be no exception for cup finals for WP:NFOOTY and I don't think WP:GNG is met. The thing is, there are similar articles like Réginald Becque who have the same scenario but I think (likely) meet GNG. Paul Vaurie (talk) 17:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the other members of that team definitely meet GNG. The only one I'm not too sure about is Benoît Lestavel. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to change my opinion to neutral - there is this source: Girondins4Ever, this one: France Football, this one: La Voix du Nord, this one: France 3 Hauts-de-France. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:02, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

La Voix du Nord is paywalled so I can't read it but I can't see any significant coverage on the other ones. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:23, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails both our football notability guidelines and GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I finally agree with Spiderone: the quality of sources found so far is not good enough to meet WP:GNG. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
