- Comment: I'll take this and translate it, I am not sure it is going to be WP:N in EN:WP though, as FR:WP is a bit more lax with the old RS.
Please keep the listing open here at RfD, technically it won't be an R but the French article is only a stub really, so might fail N etc anyway. Some references are in English... as an IP ed I can't create a new article without a lot of rigamarole, but I can edit existing pages... 84.236.27.182 (talk) 00:44, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
:::Dang, the one time in my life I could have said "hold your horses" and didn't :) as you can see, I'm translating it, so technically it is now an article and not a redirect, I obviously to do that had to remove the RfD tag from it but I don't want it to get lost here. So far, it seems as if he is notable, but I haven't done much checkref yet. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 01:44, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
::I tried to do a Wikidata link from FR to EN but it keeps warning me that my IP will be published etc. So a confirmed user might have to do that for me... I know how to do it, but it won't let me. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 01:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Procedural close, please. I've translated the French article to English. If the closing admin could please add the Wikidata link that would be handy - as an IP editor it seems I can't do that. (It says I can, but in practice I can't.) I've translated as faithfully as I can, and checked every link, no doubt there are lurking typos and mistakes but on the whole I think it is better than nothing. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 03:20, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
:We haven't an {{tlx|R from title without diacritics}} at Francois Mathet. The search engine seems perfectly capable of finding this without the need for one, I mention it purely for completeness. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 04:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
::Thanks for creating this article. I've added the redirect. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:06, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
:::My pleasure. It could do with English RS, and I imagine I shall find some in the Racing Post or something, or at Tattersall's, but I wouldn't bet on it. I have been trying for years to improve our articles on bookmaking, with very little success: it always gets reverted to do it all in decimal odds, so I gave up on bothering to write and add pictures for Tic-tac and so on. The list of runners and riders should really be a table, but there was only so much I could do in a short time. 84.236.27.182 (talk) 11:36, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the good work, ip. It seems someone has sorted out the interwiki links as well, so it looks like we're done here but do drop me a note on my talk page if there is anything I've overlooked. Thryduulf (talk) 12:20, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
