Fails WP:BASIC notability. The few reliable sources merely make passing mention of the subject. - MrX 21:10, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete Serial deprodded without explanation by apparent sock/vandal - clearly fails WP:GNG; awards do not appear significant - encyclopedic notability is not demonstrated. One can have exhibitions and win awards without having encyclopedic notability. Scr★pIronIV 21:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I am neither a sockpuppet nor a vandal. Please strike that statement from your explanation. Thank you, 2602:30A:2EFE:F050:A51D:74AE:FC51:1E65 (talk) 22:20, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Never happen. IF you had meant good faith with the PROD deletion, you would have registered a valid keep vote here. I think you need a comb; you might want to see about that hair. Scr★pIronIV 22:32, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- No rush The guy appears to be notable in Poland as a graphic artist - there are several legit-appearing refs via Google, but I do not read Polish. And removing a PROD is not "vandalism" here as far as I can tell. I think we should find someone who can look up the person in Polish sources before we obliviate him. Collect (talk) 23:04, 4 November 2015 (UTC) see Polish Wikipedia [1] and the assertion that he holds the title f "professor" which means that is also grounds for notability Collect (talk) 23:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- And? An AfD discussion is supposed to be about the article at hand, and not about who any editor is, or whether removal of a PROD is ipso facto "vandalism." The IP is not called a sock by the blocking admin, by the way, so might you tell us the concrete evidence that the IP is a "sock"? SPI results? Collect (talk) 14:24, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. My purpose was merely to give you information regarding this editor, and was in response to your comment that removing a prod is not vandalism. The blocking admin does use the terminology "This is disruptive editing and some editor is avoiding scrutiny", which is pretty much the description of a sock. Furthermore, later in the discussion, the same blocking editor does state, "There is a good chance that all of this was done as a bit of a smokescreen. I believe that it is quite likely that pet articles of sock[']s had been prodded..." And the discussion clearly came to the conclusion that in this instance, removing this prod (along with others), was vandalism/non-constructive editing. Regardless, no big deal, was just trying to give you some info. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 19:58, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep. Setting aside Polish Wikipedia different notability criteria (all professors are seen as notable there), what sources do I find? Local Polish portal has a brief info about his and his wives exhibition at the National Museum, Gdańsk ([2]). This may meet WP:ARTIST 4b. His work was briefly mentioned in mainstream Polish newspaper [3], but it probably doesn't count for in-depth. He also seems to collect reviews of his work at [4], but sadly, without proper bibliographical references. Still, they have titles and authors, and are thus treacable, for example I traced a longer review by art critic pl:Jacek Kotlica to [5], which is described at [6] as a publication (seems short lived and offline), published by the Gdańskie Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Sztuki (Gdansk Society of Friends of Arts), a local NGO. I wasn't able to trace two others, however. I did, however, find one decent book reference. Gdanska grafika. Fundacja rewaloryzacji zabytkow Gdanska. 1995. is crippled by snippet-only view, But on p.24 I got lucky with what is at least a paragraph in English about his work: "Cezary Paszkowski was eminent in the generation of the seventies. His creative work is faithful to th workshop priniples of his masters - Zukowski and Karofak. He began his create wandering from the realization of etchings..." Not sure how long this entry is; if it was half a page or longer, it would probably be good enough for to be considered a pretty good source. As it is, it's borderline, but I am leaning towards keeping. Ping User:ScrapIronIV, User:Collect, User:MiracleMat - what do you think about those sources? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep per Piotrus and museums and exhibitions. Modern printmakers don't get much internet coverage. Johnbod (talk) 03:28, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
