WP:COATRACK. This is not a biography of Gustave Lefebvre. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator. The coatrack has been replaced by an actual biography of Lefebvre. Though sourcing seems sparse, and we may well end up with little more than a stub, WP:GNG seems to have been met. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

? Nomination is unclear. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Keep but replace content. I agree that the article in its nominated state was a WP:COATRACK. I have stubbed it back down to a single sentence with his birth and death dates and occupation (the state in which it was created) but added three published sources about his life. I think that's enough for WP:GNG, and WP:TNT would only have applied if there were no valid version to revert to, not true in this case. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep' following David's improvements. It's also worth noting that the article was created as a plain stub and the coatracky stuff was only added later. – Joe (talk) 06:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
