Unsourced biographical article possibly authored by the subject. A Google search yielded [http://www.google.com/search?hl=la&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=NCe&q=%22fons+hickmann%22+-wikipedia&btnG=Quaere 10000 matches], excluding Wikipedia. None of the first ten hits are reliable sources that could be used for the improvement and sourcing of the article. Alexius08 (talk) 09:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep Has apparently published numerous books of his works, at a professor in a major school. As for the gsearch, first I've heard that a source not being in the first ten hits is to be rejected. DGG (talk) 20:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. A ridiculous nomination. How does the fact that ten unreliable sources exist prevent any of the other 9990 sources from being valid, or, more pertinently, those found by [http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch?um=1&ned=uk&hl=en&num=100&q=%22Fons+Hickmann%22&cf=all Google News] and [http://books.google.co.uk/books?um=1&ned=uk&hl=en&num=100&q=%22Fons%20Hickmann%22&cf=all&sa=N&tab=np Google Books]?
