Comment: The article as currently written has very little biographical information about Servaty himself, and is really just a summary of the scandal.  So, really, it is the ''scandal'' which meets , not Philippe Servaty, and that should be the name of the article

Comment: For what's it worth, after the article survives this AfD, it will be immune from being |proded or |speedied. However, I agree this should have been an immediate speedy keep

Comment: Every sentence is sourced with multiple references. There are 22 citations for a three paragraph article. While I realize English refs are preferable on the English Wiki,  states that foreign refs are acceptable. As to the issue of self-published refs, while  states that blogs are not largely acceptable, it goes on to say that self-published work may be acceptable if the author is a professional in the field. This ref fulfills that criterion, as Paul Belien is also a journalist who has written for major newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal and The Independent. I doubt he would libel anyone, as he has his professional reputation as journalist to consider. By the way, of the five refs I currently have, this is the only one that I see as self-published. The others are a Moroccan magazine, a Belgian magazine, a Belgian Newspaper and an Arabic news site
