Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michel Tardieu
Sorry, I failed to explain my reasoning above. The French Wikipedia article (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffr.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMichel_Tardieu_%2528historien%2529&sl=auto&tl=en Google translation) says he was directeur d'études (1976-91) at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes  — to quote our article, "Many of France's greatest scientists in Humanities were professors ("Directeurs d'études") there" — then Chair Professor (1991-2008) at College de France  — again quoting our article "the professors are chosen from among the foremost researchers of the day, with no requirement other than that of being at the top of their fields". I reckon both those fulfil  criterion #5 (in spirit if not in letter as  doesn't always entirely comply with  at present IMHO). In 1975 he won a  Bronze Medal of the CNRS  — to quote http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffr.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMichel_Tardieu_%2528historien%2529&sl=auto&tl=en translation of french WP article, "awarded annually to forty winners (one per section of specialties). It «rewards the first work of a scientist , which makes him an expert talent in his field. This award is an encouragement of the CNRS to pursue research already well underway and fruitful»". I think that meets  #2
