Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because it is a soft redirect to an existing article in French Wikipedia. The alternative is to create a red link for Gibbet of Montfaucon which gives the reader nothing of value. The article in French Wikipedia is useful for those who do not read French because it has multiple explanatory pictures. I plan to prepare an article to replace this redirect in the near future.
