The result was keep. I see a weak consensus that he has enough sources to scrape by; the presence of an article in a print encyclopedia is particularly significant. However, merging or redirecting may still be discussed on talk pages. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:02, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability not established for either GNG or Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Article is currently a stub, and would be even shorter were irrelevant/unreferenced content to be removed Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:05, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom, notability doesn't seem to be established. A WP:BEFORE search only returns a small number of results (a majority of which are mentions in works substantively about something else). I can find no biographical works of which the subject is the primary topic (or other sources to support notability under the other WP:ANYBIO criteria). Book/academic searches return a number of results, but all (as with the web search) are passing mentions in works which are substantively about other topics. I can find no sources/works which deal with the subject as a primary topic (biographical or otherwise). Subject's notability seems to be inextricably linked to another topic. For which we already have an article. Not seeing rationale for stand-alone article. Guliolopez (talk) 16:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or at least Redirect to St Patrick's College, Maynooth as the subject is mentioned here in connection with the early history of the college. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 20:22, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As pointed out at the deletion debates for Pierre-Justin Delort and André Darré, the wiki-notability guideline for academics is not really applicable to historical figures, being geared instead to evaluating scholars active today. XOR'easter (talk) 00:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Sourcing for him, independent of the other French founders of Maynooth, seems to be somewhat scarce, but there is at least a biography of him in the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers,doi:10.5040/9781350052468-0004. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:25, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (lie the other three founders of St Patrick's College, Maynooth. I see nothing inadequate in the sources cited. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:00, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep under WP:GNG. It's a case of WP:NEXIST not just looking at the article at it stands. The WP:ATD would be to redirect to St Patrick's College, Maynooth, as already said. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:51, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
