Keep. I think that being a wealthy landowner and militia captain demonstrates that he was a prominent individual in New France. The article does not have a separate references section, but quotes a reference to him in Vie de Madame Youville (probably one of the following two books)
- Faillon, Étienne Michel, 1799-1870. Vie de Mme d'Youville, fondatrice des Soeurs de la charité de Villemarie dans l'île de Montréal, en Canada. -- Villemarie : Chez les Soeurs de la charité, 1852.
- Sattin, Antoine, 1767-1836, Vie de Madame d'Youville, fondatrice et première supérieure des soeurs de la charité ou soeurs grises / par M. Antoine Sattin. Québec : s.n., 1930.

as well as the details of his burial from church records. The article was created by Jflemoine , who may be a descendant or relative. --Eastmain (talk) 05:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Quebec-related deletion discussions. —Eastmain (talk) 05:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Prove it. If I write an article about my grandaddy and add spurious references to an obscure book stating that he was... the Sheriff of Nottingham... how many people would vote Keep? Ling.Nut (talk) 05:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

	*'''~~Keep~~''' — The individual clearly exists. ~~For~~ those who have a notability fetish, I challenge you to the following: (1) Give me an objective standard, and (2) explain why it's relevant in the first place. I fail to see how a topic must meet some arbitrary, currently-undefined (and perhaps undefinable) bar of "notability" to be relevant to a project designed to collect the sum of all human knowledge. The idea is absurd on its face. Deletion of this article, and the advocacy of it, therefore runs entirely counter to the goals of this project.
