WP:BLP, written as a cross between an advertorial PR profile and a résumé instead of as a proper encyclopedia article, about a photographer who may have valid claims of notability per WP:NARTIST but isn't properly sourcing them. Nearly all of the sources here are primary sources or blogs or circular referencing to other Wikipedia articles — for example, all of the "www.leclubdesad.org" footnotes (#14 through #29) are not to media coverage about him, but to archived copies of the ads he worked on. Literally the only footnote in the entire article that represents reliable source coverage about him is a 50-word blurb. As always, every photographer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists; reliable source coverage about him in media must be present to support the notability claims for an article to become earned.

• Comment this looks like a translation from an article on the French Wikipedia. I'm not sure there's any case for notability in the article. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Yes, it's definitely a translation from fr:Marc Robin. The first deleted revision (by the same editor who wrote the draft) very obviously began as Google Translate output, from the way it mangled the markup. —Cryptic 17:10, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I ran a news archive search on proquest, ("Marc Robin" + photographer) which really ought to turn up something on a photographer of any notability at all. zip. nada. (There is, however, a conspicuously notable choreographer named Marc Robin who truly ought to have an article.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:37, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
