Notability. This page seems like a vanity page for a run of the mill pharma chemist. He has a few papers in the literature, but nothing earth-shattering - there are no secondary references, for example. Chris (talk) 17:26, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The subject's name actually seems to be Sébastien Fournier-Bidoz ( (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) ), and his citation record on GScholar seems reasonable (even good) for someone who has never had a permanent academic post - but may fall a bit short of WP:PROF#1. However, there are immediate problems with general searches on the name, as it seems to be precisely the same as that of a French Olympic skier of about ten years ago - who, however, seems to be a different person.

Delete. He has enough citations in Google scholar to be respectable, but not really enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. And I can find a lot of hits for his name in Google scholar, but didn't see any that were clearly about the subject of this article; searching for the more complete name Fournier-Bidoz found nothing useful. So I'm not convinced that he passes WP:GNG either. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
