Notability

[edit]

It's my understanding that WP:BIO requires essentially two events of newsworthy coverage. I see one here at this point. Erechtheus 05:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that it "requires" anything, but I'll try to make it more clear. Now that I've tracked down a reputable source attesting to his popularity, I put that in as well. He's the French equivalent of Cory Doctorow or Glenn Reynolds, to pick a couple names. And his announcement of support for Sarkozy is arguably newsworthy as a separate event (you can find coverage on the French edition of Google News), the cite is simply taken from the primary source. --Michael Snow 06:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing noteworthy I can see here! Tons of people have bought and sold various companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.130.96 (talk) 13:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

[edit]

Why is Loic Le Meur buying Ublog mentioned as a controversy? Who claims that it is often stated that he founded Ublog? --Heikoh 23:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loic did incorporate Ublog (it was merely a side project of Stéphane Le Solliec before that, I believe). It is often thus written that he founded Ublog (lastly, right here). Early french bloggers rarely see that as a good thing, and would rather see Stéphane get proper credit for it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.237.199.205 (talk) 22:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

"Hijacking" controversy

[edit]

I'm going to object to the following:

Le Meur was blamed by some in the global blogosphere for "hijacking" (term used by the BBC blog and other bloggers:http://www.britishblogs.co.uk/categories/leweb3/) the 1,000-person conference he organized in Paris, Le Web3 (2006), by inviting his Presidential choice, Nicolas Sarkozy, to give a 15 minute speech that included no exchange with the audience. Another presidential contender, the centrist François Bayrou, also spoke at the conference (taking questions).

The criticism and term "hijacking" are attributed to the BBC blog and other bloggers, and one link is given. However, the link is not specific and doesn't point to a blog post. I've searched and can't find anything relevant, not to mention the BBC blog is unspoken for. In the absence of sourcing, I'm going to remove the paragraph in a day or two per WP:BLP. -FrankTobia (talk) 19:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So removed. Again, feel free to add it back with a reasonable source. -FrankTobia (talk) 23:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LeWeb

[edit]

It's 'LeWeb', not 'Le Web', just go on the official website to verify it. --Barnux (talk) 12:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
