Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because

I know that creating an article about my self is decouraged. But I was faced to two problems:

• My name is cited in the following Misplaced Pages pages (the citation was not included by myself): Flat module, Resultant, Triangular decomposition, and Regular chain. In Algebraic geometry, the transformation of my name into a red link has not been done by me. Thus a Misplaced Pages page is needed for bluing several redlinks.
• Michel Lazard is another mathematician (not living), also cited several times in Misplaced Pages (for example in Lazard ring), who may be confused with me because his research area is not so far to mine. I have done the effort to disambiguate all these pages refering to us, but too many red links did remain.

These are the reasons of creating my page myself, applying wp:IAR. However, I have kept it as a stub limited to my subjects of interest, verifiable on my publications, in order to be sure to remain neutral.

I'm not worried about the article being unduly self-serving. However, I am concerned that the sources seem to be primary rather than secondary (WP:PSTS). Are there secondary biographical sources about the subject? If not, it seems unlikely that the article would survive an AfD. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:20, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I do not know any secondary biography of my self, only some sites which indicate some points of my career, for example hrrp:/genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu, for my Ph.D, my advisor and some of my PhD students (not all) or http://www.archicubes.ens.fr/gene/main.php?base=13, where one may see that I was a student of the promotion 1960 of Ecole Normale Supérieure. However, as witness of my notoriety I have found http://www-calfor.lip6.fr/ICPSS/ for the international conference and the special issue of Journal of Symbolic Computation in my honor. Also the translation in 2001 by M. Abramson of my paper of 1979 (ACM SIGSAM Bulletin vol 35; issue 3, sept. 2001).

I do not know how to insert this. The 2 first sites will be useful only when my career will be described. Thus I'll just include the 2 latter reference in the reference list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D.Lazard (talk • contribs) 14:44, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
