  • Comment: Announcement where the subject was appoint to some positions, profiles of the subject in organizations he was a part of or public institutions, as well as official websites of organizations he used to be in do not prove the subject's notability. Promotional news articles and trivial mentions in the news don't help either. It is necessary to include multiple significant coverage from reliable and independent sources in order to pass WP:NBIO.

  • Comment: The submission still reads promotionally. For example, "It is not surprising that Minvielle is considered by the French media “the apostle of nutritionally correct". This is sourced to one article using that term, which cannot verify the sweeping statement made. Greenman (talk) 23:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: This still reads like a résumé, there are still statements which are not supported by referencing (or at least the citations are inadequate to show which source supports what content), and the overall tone is still promotional (expressions like "Nestlé Spain invited him to join their operations, an offer Minvielle gladly accepted" have no place in an encyclopaedia). I suggest you cut out all the non-essential content and only summarise what reliable, independent sources have said about this person, and forget what they might want you to say about them, that could get us much closer to something publishable.

  • Comment: This reads like a promo piece or resume, with little or no encyclopaedic content. Please rewrite in factual, neutral language, and highlight the reasons why this person warrants an entry in a global encyclopaedia.
