I can't tell if this is a hoax / April Fool's joke, or just a puffed-up self-promo/vanity piece, but it's effectively unreferenced, and riddled with factual errors and falsehoods. A search finds nothing even approaching RS sigcov, hence this fails WP:GNG / WP:BIO if nothing else. I would have requested speedy, but there is so much content that I didn't think it would get through, so here we are. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:28, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. AdoTang (talk) 17:47, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't consider this deleteable on sight, but some of it is highly suspect. The "Lord of Glencoe" scam made the newspapers in Scotland back in 2012. A "laird" is not a Lord, and the GBP30 that one paid does not even truly make one a laird at all. And I cannot find any evidence that the Avignon Film Festival even gave out awards, let alone to whom. The article's creator and sole content contributor here is almost a single-purpose account both here and on the French Wikipedia, and the fr: article was created by Lewismartinsoucy (talk · contribs) there. I couldn't find any biographical sources for verifying or rectifying this, and the article cites none. This is unverifiable. Uncle G (talk) 06:26, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from actually having to have any reliable sources, and the fact that such sources can't even be located on an outside search raises the definite possibility that at least some of this is outright hoaxery.
