The result was no consensus. Relisted twice and no consensus is formed. The most significant issue is a statement about a potential copyvio by Piotrus, but with no source given. Piotrus please check this source and nominate for the relevant copyvio process if proven. (non-admin closure) 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 12:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article has existed for 12 years with no sources. The only sources I found appeared to be Wikipedia mirrors. I am not sure I found anything that even verifies his existence, clearly nothing that shows that he is notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I see Google book sources in Polish though whether they amount to sustained in-depth coverage I can’t tell. Hopefully Polish speakers will be able to shed some light. Mccapra (talk) 17:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I've found a source for the article, the problem is it's "too good", as in - our article is a perfect translation, word for word, from it, so WP:COPYVIO is a likely issue. The source is a biographical note in an article by him, with no indication who wrote the note, and based on what sources. The magazine it was published in is a very minor, local historical periodical, although reliable, think bottom rung historical journal (pl:Cracovia Leopolis). Regarding the sources mentioned by @Mccapra, I took a look (I am a Polish speaker). There are several citations to him, and mentions in passing, but I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV. Based other visible snippets, he was somebody important enough that several folks mentioned him, briefly, in their diaries/memoirs, and his works were cited a few times, but overall there is little so show he meets NBIO. That said, it's possible there is something not digitized that we are not picking up, after all, the 2006 short biography I found is based on something. It's a very borderline case, there are signs better sources may exist (as much as I hate WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES), but I cannot locate them. (He is briefly mentioned in a interview with his daughter published in a 2018 issue of the same magazine, [1], but that's a very brief mention). Frankly, I'd probably we at "weak delete", given we cannot find better sources, but I am a bit inclusionist for Polish history, and again, the odds that there is something more, just not digitized yet, aren't very bad here, so there's that. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:35, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
