[edit] Alexandra Voskowitz

Hoax. First of all I highly doubt the fact that such a person exists. He turns up an whopping 1 hit on google. Secondly even if he does, he is definitely non-notable. Change to Weak Delete Proved as a genuine article. Although notability of the person is an issue. If some more references can turn up then I will be willing to withdraw my nom.

• Delete As nominator. As above --Srikeit^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 17:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Appears this was a transliteration issue. Author has moved the article to Aleksandra Wasowicz, who googles as an established author from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology in Warsaw. Limited number of hits, especially in English, but she has published books on Ancient Greece and the Black Sea region. Fan1967 14:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Fan1967 Dlyons493 Talk 16:25, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Tentative keep. After the name was resolved, it's clear the person exists. She is, as far as I can tell, a minor scholar. I can't find much info on her, but I think she is more notable then not. Wikipedia:Notability (academics) should likely be the criteria to judge this nomination.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 18:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am not supporting this article just because I am its author. The only reason I wrote the article in the first place was because Wikipedia never had an entry about Aleksandra Wasowicz. I agree that there is not a lot of information on the Internet pertaining to this specific academic. However, her contributions to academia should be noted no matter how "minor" they may seem. The purpose of Wikipedia (or any encyclopedia) is to provide information so that people are aware of who is who and what is what. I apologize for utilizing the name "Alexandra Voskowitz" when I first created the article. However, I took the time to rectify this mistake and tried to help verify the existence of the Polish archaeologist. Wasowicz deserves a place in Wikipedia and therefore I vote to keep the article. - Deucalionite May 2, 2006 1:11 P.M.
