The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Paul Biya. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Paul Biya at the Reference desk.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Recent additions

The new additions are sourced, so I'm reluctant to remove them, but I have temporarily tagged the article as being in violation of Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View Policy. I'll try to bring the prose in line with this policy sometime soon. -- BrianSmithson 02:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed current events info

Per WP:BLP, all material in an article about a living person must have references. I've removed some material on these grounds until such references are provided. — Dulcem (talk) 12:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rosicrucians

There have been claims and allegations that Biya is tied to the Rosicrucians. I have found a source mentioning this claim in an article by Le Monde diplomatique. [1] I cannot confirm this rumour, but it would be helpful if anyone could debunk it, either confirming it or deying it. ADM (talk) 23:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Franck

Some sources say that Franck is Paul's son with another woman; some sources say Franck is Jeanne-Irène's son with another man, cos they could not have a child (she had a miscarriage once or twice). Have U got any information bout it? V1^t 21:41, 1 July 2009
