It appears from the history (to simplify the matter) that the article was essentially created without sources, and that sources are now being added. This makes all the original material suspect (as plagiarism or WP:OR). There is no excuse for this; there are more than 200 search results using the available news search tool:

news on Jean-Yves Escoffier

and this does not include books and other scholarly sources. Let's make this encyclopedic. The article subject deserves better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:C700:2DB2:505C:415F:EC07:16AB (talk) 19:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

The original material, regarding the advert/music video content, was added without clear acknowledgment of source. Some but not all may have been taken from Ballinger (e.g., which gives rough d.o.b. and d.o.d., but not the months/days thereof). Hence, some of this content was plagiarised (see opening edit, in 2011). Additional material was added in 2014, and was inserted without source (and since Ballinger is not readily available online, appears to be further WP:OR/plagiarism). No effort aimed at verifying content to source of adding needed sources is discernible from the edit summaries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:C700:2DB2:505C:415F:EC07:16AB (talk) 19:55, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
