Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcel Leroux
STA and Africangenesis, the biggest problem here is the lack of referenced third party coverage of Dr. Leroux in his article.  Per the |general notability guidelines, inclusion in Wikipedia generally implies that he has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are ''independent of the subject''" (emphasis added).  Right now every reference in the article aside from the link to his obituary goes to a work that he wrote himself.  This is fine for establishing what he believes, but we generally also need references to third-party coverage of his work in order to show that his work / life was significant enough to justify inclusion in Wikipedia.  Every academic writes papers, and many write books; however, we expect academics with Wikipedia pages to be |more notable than the average professor.  Without references to third-party coverage of Dr. Leroux, it is hard to know whether his career was highly notable or merely average for an academic
