- Delete. There's a photo of him with Thom, Serre, and Reeb in the Notices of the AMS (August 2000), p. 761 (the same one we have here). MathSciNet lists seven publications from 1943 to 1957 (all single-authored), and Google Scholar lists 5 citations for one of them and 44 for another. That's not enough to form the basis of a verifiable article and it's not enough for academic notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:39, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete As argued in the !vote above, he doesn't appear to attain wiki-notability as an academic. In addition, the term "Arbault sets" does not appear to be widely used among mathematicians. XOR'easter (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
