'''Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic:''' Apply the alternative when the first element of the preferred name begins with either a given name or a surname. If a person is likely to appear in general English-language reference sources, search the ''[https://www.larousse.fr/ Encyclopédie Larousse]'', the ''[https://petitrobert12.lerobert.com/robert.asp Petit Robert]'' and the ''[http://www.universalis-edu.com/ Encyclopædia Universalis]''<!--Academic American Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Americana, and the New Encyclopaedia Britannica-->. If the name is found in all three sources in a single form, use that form. If the form varies in these three sources, use the form found in the ''[https://www.larousse.fr/ Encyclopédie Larousse]'' <!--''New Encyclopaedia Britannica''-->. If the name is not found in all three of these sources, use the systematically romanized form of the name. ''Exception:'' For famous persons entered under given name but not found in all three of the general French-language encyclopedias because of specialized fame, consult major specialized encyclopedias (e.g.,  Le nouveau Théo de Michel Dubost et Stanislas Lalanne, le Dictionnaire de l’Antiquité de Jean Leclant <!--New Catholic Encyclopedia, The Oxford Classical Dictionary-->) to determine if there is a well-established French-language form of the name. ("Found in" the reference source means that there is an article under the person’s name.)

If the name is found in all three sources in a single form, use that form. If the form varies in these three sources, use the form found in the ''[https://www.larousse.fr/ Encyclopédie Larousse]''. If the name is not found in all three of these sources, use the systematically romanized form of the name.  

For persons of too recent fame to be included in the three general French-language encyclopedias named above (e.g., new authors, dancers, persons recently becoming famous as political or cultural figures), consult the yearbooks of the encyclopedias and such major newspapers as ''[https://www.lemonde.fr/ Le monde]'' and ''[https://www.lapresse.ca/ La presse]'' <!--The New York Times and The Washington Post--> to determine if there is a well-established French-language form of the name.

<span style="color:red>If the name is found in the Encyclopédie Larousse, use the name found there, if the encyclopedia only presents one form of name, or use the first form given, if two forms of name are given. If the name is not found in the Encyclopédie Larousse, search the Petit Robert, and if the name appears, use the form found there.  If the name is not found there, search the Encyclopedia Universalis and use the form found there. (Catalogers are encouraged to consult all three sources regardless of the search results to identify variants that may be cross-referenced).</span> If the name is not found in any of these sources, use the systematically romanized form of the name  <span style="color:red>(i.e., a romanized form from a romanization table approved by PFAN).</span>
