• Delete Non-notable, published by a fake editor. (check what is exactly "Socrate Éditions Promarex" and laugh) Markadet fr 02:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete A more detailed article on :fr clearly proves there are no quality sources about Mr Godfroid. French Tourist 05:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fake and lies... No notability. Clem23 06:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fake. Poppypetty 06:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. This guy is currently demonstrated on the french WP [1] to be a lier and acting in a self-promotion manner to advance highly critical personal theories.--LPLT 07:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Promarex is his own publishing house. If you except the books he writes and publish by himself at Promarex, there is only one book. Furthermore, this article doesn't pass and will never pass WP:V. Last point, this author and his sock puppets consider WP as an advertisement website for his work and pervert the goals of Wikipedia. --Bombastus 07:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fake. See my contribution on the french wiki. As said Promarex is his own publishing house. I also suspect that SalomonCeb is either a relative, a friend or a sock puppet. Pppswing 16:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Hoax, spam, and possibly attack, if the photo shown is an unaware third party. wikipediatrix 19:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Exactly as I was going to say. I suggest deletion. TheInfinityZero 17:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. As noted above, there is also a deletion debate running now over at the French Wikipedia, one that seems full of indignation due to the apparent self-promotion, involving multiple articles about him and his books, including the creation of his own *category*. I note that the two OCLC numbers given above for his books do not work (click on them, Worldcat finds nothing). The lengthier article on him in the French Wikipedia is no more convincing than this one, which seems to have a promotional flavor. It's true he has articles on Wikipedias in many languages; someone has been busy. (The same anonymous contributor created articles on him in 13 Wikipedias, according to the French AfD). His book 'La psychiatrie de la femme' appears to be real. It was published in 1999 by PUF, a real publisher, but it is now out of print according to amazon.fr. EdJohnston 05:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Speedy Delete - As per Markadet fr. Cocoma 13:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
