Now that the answer is pretty obvious for all to see, can someone give a clue on how to decode the puzzle?

Thanks.If only I hadn't tried Pierre Laplace as soon as I got home. Locked out for 17 hours, but at least I know the answer.

| On the Eiffel Tower wiki entry his whole name is listed differently to his personal page on the wiki. I can see how that could be confusing.

No because his first name has 7 letters, which breaks my spoiler rule.

The name of the person required does not have any hyphens or apostrape's or anything but letters.
He is male.
All you need is his first name and all the information you need to find him is mentioned in these pages.
The answer is a very famous person (I bet you have heard of him before you started your research on this card), not any of his friends or parents or aunties.
He was a French mathematician and physicist.
There are less than 7 letters in his first name.
If I told you any more i would be telling you the answer.
Somebody stop me

UGH! Number 11
I scared the crap out of my husband, cuz I screamed that i got it, then started stomping up and down when I saw my position. He came running upstairs all paled faced, compared to my RED face.
Anyway, congrats top 10 solves  Wish my card would have unlocked 90 mins earlier.

Locked out again 
I'm plodding on through my list of suspects. Could one of the solvers confirm whether there is something on the card that pins this to a specific person or is this a refined guessing game?
For the record it's not

| Carl or Karl (Gauss) or Simeon-Denis (Poisson)

Thanks for all the good hints! I was finally able to gravitate towards the right answer and get my first top 10 solve.

Liked the hint obrienk, thanks.
Even though I guessed wrong with my last try, and am now locked out, it makes things manageable. Must admit to still not seeing how all the numbers fit into the answer, and doubt it will all become clear when I guess right.
