I'm sorry but I just can't take your comment seriously.

You think... "dead French women" don't belong on Wikipedia?

Do you have any idea how many dead French men are on Wikipedia?

I cannot fathom what leads you to describe someone as a "dead French woman"... or even as a "random Canadian", as if any Canadian that nnopepe has never heard of sure doesn't belong in Wikipedia...!

I have no idea if these two meet the standards for notability or not. But I do know that being obnoxious never stopped deletionist editors before. I'm not sure there's anyone in the world more stubborn than Wikipedia deletionist editors.

Maybe the fact that the article contains very little information beyond that and the fact that she was a surgeon? It also mentions that "She was the first to demonstrate that lymph node transplantation could be a safe procedure" but the cited source contains no mention of this as far as I can tell.

If you have any examples of articles of "dead French men" that are as barebones as this one, feel free to share.

Look through some of the links on this page:
