- The Dutch version of this article is also nominated for deletion. There is in fact a whole bunch of French institutions that is written/expanded by one range of IPs: 2a01:c000::/19. One of the IPs
worked on the article] in French, German en Wikidata, all on the same day.

- And no, in this case I have no clue how to start a sockpuppet investigation as it looks to be a case against an IP-range. The Banner talk 18:00, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Delete On top of the other stuff, it doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, either. Language barrier likely affecting BEFORE, but the article has only provided three references, two of which are not independent.I'm not following the "English Wikipedia is not Dutch Wikipedia" statements. What does that mean for keeping an article? Side question: Why is this tagged as an AfC submission? I can't tell that it actually was... - 2pou ( talk) 15:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)- Weak keep Admittedly the current sourcing makes the baby Jesus cry, but there are at least a couple of serious articles about the project: [1], [2]. Branciard (ref #1) may be connected to the project, Dupuy-Maury (ref #2) appears to be an independent journalist. Not sure whether that's sufficient for GNG, but I would tend to say yes. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 16:42, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- I have no clear opinion on whether this particular page should be kept. However, I think we need an article on biocluster, which appears [3] [4] to be what they're calling sort of miniature Silicon Valleys for biotech these days. There were 180 of them in Europe a decade ago, according to that 2011 paper. It's possible that this page should be kept, and it's possible that it would make more sense to write a more general article and list it as an example of their intentional specialization in "biotherapies" (vs. other specific biological sciences or vs. a random assortment of biological sciences).

- Keep Sources from Le Parisien ( [5], [6]), Les Echos ( [7]), La Tribune ( [8]) make the article pass WP:GNG. Regards, Comte0 ( talk) 01:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
So, effectively this article is created by a sockpuppeteer? The Banner talk 16:01, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm leaning towards WP:TNT prima facie it appears notable, however the sockpuppeting activities is of concern. -- Devokewater (talk) 17:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
