replies: text: I do not know where it says that this page has the  template on it.The sub-page J. M. G. Le Clézio/to do was proposed for deletion because it was a sub-page of the Le Clézio article.I don`t know where the  template is since this issue has been resolved by the creation of a sub-page Talk:J. M. G. Le Clézio/to do.I know that you can propose deletion of any article by sticking the "Prod" template on it or by sticking a dated prod on it , citing a reason for deletion.On January 12, 2009 a user Uncle G  moved J.

* It is not clear that this family tree makes it in any way clear whether his mother was Mauritian
* The tree is in the French language and does not indicate  anything other than the French nationality on both sides of the family.

Cited news from [Los Angeles Times because there is no proof that to the quote="His father was British and his mother French." (his father may have become British to serve in the British army).

Le Clézio sees himself as Franco-Mauritian novelist
"Although Le Clézio never lived in Mauritius for more than a few months at a time, he regards himself both as a Frenchman and a Mauritian .See the ref. name=roots ."Le Clézio calls Mauritius his "little fatherland".See the ref. name="guardian.

Le Clézio was raised in France. His early childhood Le Clézio spent in Roquebillière, a small village near Nice. At the age of eight Le Clézio started to write poetry and read comics. In 1947 he traveled to Nigeria with his mother and brother, spending there a happy year without school. Later the author depicted his childhood in the semi-autobiographical novel Onitsha (1991), in which a young boy sails with his mother to Africa, where his English father is chasing his own dreams.to
Le Clézio was brought up in Roquebillière( a small village near Nice) in the Italian occupied border region of southern France until 1948 when he and his mother and his brother boarded a ship set to meet up with his father in Nigeria .Le Clézio may have been depicting his own childhood when he wrote semi-autobiographical novel Onitsha in 1991, but in an essay written in 2004 he wrote in a more autobiographical style about this childhood ,and his relationship with his parents.

"He spent much of his childhood in Mauritius and Nigeria"
* This is a meaningless expression without any  dates and references
since he holds both the French and Mauritian citizenship
* He regards himseld as a Mauritian.I can find no proof of citizenship

message: The article mentions that he has three daughters (from two marriages.) Could one of those daughters be actress Odile Le Clezio, who IMDB says is from Mauritius? How many Le Clezio's could there be on an island with a million or so people?  Ms. Le Clezio does not have a page on WP yet, although she's redlined at Young Einstein. --Eliyahu S Talk 16:20, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
