previously added CSD, author removed tag (nb. no warning notice left), brief google search reveals only foreign results, not a lot indicating notability. Olly¹⁵⁰ 15:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete. In the future, though, if an author removes a speedy tag you can just revert, since it's basically vandalism. Politizer ^talk/_contribs 17:22, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Note Full name seems to be "Jacek Włodzimierz Papla" or "Włodzimierz Jacek Papla" Speedy probably not appropriate here, though of course the author shouldn't remove it.John Z (talk) 01:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: I gave a response to Politizer's comment above there on his talk page but just to clarify on this page to other users, I didn't warn Caxus as he was a new user and was probably unaware of Wikipedia policy on deletion and templates and chose instead to give him some links to page creation advice etc. Just to clear that. Thanks Olly¹⁵⁰ 14:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO.--Eric Yurken (talk) 17:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. His university profile says that he is the deputy director of the Fine Art Institute of the University of Zielona Góra and president of a regional association of artists, and that he has had "kilkanaście" (from 11 to 19 inclusive) individual exhibitions and participated in "tens" of important exhibitions in Poland and abroad. None of the exhibitions are identified. His most valued prize is apparently the Stanisław Wyspiański prize for young artists. Make of that what you will. I couldn't find any other sources apart from passing name checks of his participation in exhibitions, most of which seem to be in his home region of Wielkopolska.

• Keep. I did a quick copy-edit. I think the number of shows to his credit speaks for itself. --Poeticbent talk 02:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I am totally new user in Wikipedia, although I have been using for a long time, it seem that a man who has been dedicating all his life to what he loves the most, even though he is not famous, not being worthy to be in Wikipedia. Lot of famous artist wasn’t when they were still alive.

I thought this was a free space when we could share free information. I am trying to scan pieces of his art, so hopefully if you don't delete it I will be able to put them here. It would nice to share some of his art work in here.

I apologies for deleting that tag, didn’t know what I was doing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caxus (talk • contribs) 15:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you very much for making the article to look a lot nicer, and thank you for adding some more information, I hope you could consider to keep this article, I am trying to finish it this week. added by caxus —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caxus (talk • contribs) 15:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per User:Poeticbent. I would say though that the nominee's comment that Google "reveals only foreign results, not a lot indicating notability" is a bad argument for deletion. Power.corrupts (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. While I haven't yet had the time to review the article, the comment about "foreign results", which I've not noticed before, is a very sad example of WP:BIAS. I sincerely hope, in good faith, that Olly will reconsider his logic and avoid such an argument in the future. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is the reason I brought it here. I don't read polish and I was probably a bit hasty in the initial csd, but I decided I better prod because there is bound to someone who can do better than me in this. Once again, I will conceed that the argument wasn't very well thought through. Basically, what I meant was that there is nothing completely and absolutely solid that I can be sure this article is notable. I've learnt my lesson about argument writing now please can we just vote on the article Olly¹⁵⁰ 02:35, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
