WP:DSPOLANDWP:DSPOLAND

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Poland. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Poland|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Poland. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

Fails WP:GNG. Previously was much larger but was removed as unsourced. Unless notability can be proved, this should either be deleted, or an appropriate redirect should be found. Servite et contribuere (talk) 07:10, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wcquidditch This should also probably be added to Europe related discussions. I didn't think to add it when nominating for deletion. I was in a car (Obviously as a Passenger) when nominating this article and was in a rush to get out and was in a rush that I only included it in 3 topic lists. I very quickly felt like: "Shouldn't this be in list of Europe related discussions?" I actually do not know so please make the right decision on behalf of me. Thank you Servite et contribuere (talk) 11:25, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Józef Kasparek

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Primary contributor/creator (with Logologist being an older account of Nihil novi) has self-identified on Wikipedia as someone who is related to the subject of this article (see this diff, book can be found on Internet Archive where the name can be confirmed).

Undisclosed COI aside, sourcing is really poor throughout. The parts of the article that contain references are mostly sourced from the subject’s own works (including memoirs which are not published anywhere, as far as I can ascertain) and a “Who’s Who” book which I would think best to extend caution on given the integrity of these genres of book as raised by MediaKyle at the AfD for Kasparek’s relative.

I’ve also had to remove material from the article which was cited to another source because it failed verification – it most likely employed some degree of original research. I imagine much of the other unsourced material is also OR.

I can find a couple of instances where Kasparek’s work has been cited in the occasional journal article and a single question/statement to the editors of the NY Book Review hosted on their website but no significant and reliable coverage regarding him.

Delete: Wikipedia is not WikiTree, and we do not host vanity articles for family members of editors. I agree with ToeSchmoker's assessment - like the other Kasparek, there is practically nothing here with the exception of Who's Who in Polish America, which is more than likely not GNG-worthy, and certainly cannot be the entire basis of an article. The remaining sources are Kasparek's own books and translations, without any actual coverage - not even a newspaper clipping to speak of. MediaKyle (talk) 11:35, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:MUSIC, and the majority of sources are directly connected to the subject. Electricmemory (talk) 01:21, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Poland. jolielover♥talk 02:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. Has an independent biographical entry at the culture.pl website of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Poland) which documents significant Polish artists of national importance. Just reading through the biography its plain that there is likely lots of coverage in Polish language newspapers and magazines. I'm not skilled in doing searches in Polish but I'm fairly confident just off of this one strong piece of evidence that it exists.4meter4 (talk) 02:34, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: I know you are fluent in Polish. Could you please search for more sources on this? Thanks.4meter4 (talk) 02:40, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4 Sure, see below. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:48, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep and rename to Piotr Damasiewicz. I consider culture.pl a RS, and being profiled there is a sign of notability. This should be rename to his regular name, per culture etc. That said, it's a week keep, since I am not seeing any other good sources. Maybe [1] and [2], but such bios are often submitted by the subject. His activities are occasionally covered by Polish Radio [3], so that's another plus for being likely notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:48, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
