[edit] Pawel Maciag

Prodded as a vanity page (see username), deprodded, so bringing to AfD. Produces 87 distinct google hits from Google [1] so would appear to fail WP:BIO Eusebeus 23:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Keep, dishonest nomination, since Google hits show that subject's writing appears regularly in publications with audiences over 5K. Nominator shows unhealthy preoccupation with cleansing Wikipedia of subjects whose native tongue is not English. Monicasdude 00:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

    • And another WP:POINT opinion. We all know this won't be speedily kept with 2 deletion opinions already rendered.--Isotope23 02:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep 87 gHits for a Polish newsreporter seems like a fair amount to me. --Eivindt@c 02:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I wouldn't expect many google hits for a Polish newsreporter. JoshuaZ 02:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as per Eivind. One would expect not so many hits from a Polish reporter. Although I'm not sure exactly who he works for, based on this article. The article could certainly use some work. --Deville (Talk) 02:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete First off, a publication with over 5,000 readers: that would cover hundreds of thousands of media figures, forget where they're from. This person is not primarily an author. Second: a singular reporter, less they be from a major publication and/or done major work (Matt Drudge) does not merit an encyclopedia entry. Wikipedia is not a reference desk; if you manage to run across an obscure reporter, those gHits will cover all you need to know. Teke 03:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I tried some cleanup. Seems to verifiably be a significant Polish reporter covering American news. Jkelly 04:43, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • userfy as autobiography. Just zis Guy you know? 07:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems like a decent stub to me. Mangojuicetalk 14:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Userfy per JzG, might have a place pending its expansion. Kuzaar 16:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
