Note-The page is a curated translation from the French and German WP. The subject has several accomplishments in addition to the flyboard. I propose that both the biography page and the individual invention pages be kept. A merge of the invention pages with the bio page is possible

Keep. There are several independent sources in the article, others at
Flyboard Air, and yet more are available (e.g.
[1]). The previous AFD may have reached a 'delete' conclusion, but I'd say he's definitely received enough significant coverage now to satisfy
WP:BIO. Appearing in the 2019 national Bastille Day parade is a pretty strong indicator of notability by itself.

Keep - Clearly notable given his recent (failed) attempt at crossing the channel and the high likelihood of further coverage at his next attempt. Definite failure of
WP:BEFORE. Don't recommend merging the Flyboard page with the bio page because they are clearly distinct subjects given e.g., the French MoD's interest in the flyboard and funding of research into it.

Keep Why was this article even nominated? No reason given, unless there was one that was later withdrawn. The flyboard mainstream coverage includes evening news network television!
