Zero notability. No coverage of him to speak of. He fails Wikipedia:Notability (academics), not meeting any of the criteria listed. His publications have received little attention, only seven of his publications have more than ten citations, and his h-index is only eight. Mazhat (talk) 04:30, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close This account has zero edit, hence has no say for deletion. Sock-puppets are unwelcome, too. Lembit Staan (talk) 04:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- comment I created this bio exaclty because his books are frequently cited. He has over 100 citations in wikipedia. Lembit Staan (talk) 04:55, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just because someone spammed him on Wikipedia does not make him notable. He has almost zero academic impact, as seen by his paltry citation record.Mazhat (talk) 05:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thats ignorant bullsit and trolling. His books receive excellent reviews and awards . Lembit Staan (talk) 05:35, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - It is his impact as seen on academic indexes. If by awards you mean the PIASA award you just stuffed into the article [1], then PIASA (The Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America [2]) is not really selective it awards just about any book written on Poland in English and published in America. It's the sort of award you can buy coffee with at Starbucks if you add a few dollars. Mazhat (talk) 05:47, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Describing PIASA as what it is, an organization that awards niche ethnic Polish scholarship in America, is not Polonophobic. A PIASA award means nothing. Mazhat (talk) 09:03, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lembit Staan. Subject is highly respected author of numerous books and his entry has nine inline cites. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:43, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I easily ramped up the number of refs to 13, into his face. Lembit Staan (talk) 06:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

keep it seems the one spamming and not understanding our policies is Mazhat, especially failing with WP:BEFORE. The subject passes both WP:NPROF#1 with books > 100 citations and WP:NAUTHOR author with multiple independent reviews in reputable places: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] etc. --hroest 14:15, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per NAUTHOR. JoelleJay (talk) 04:03, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - GizzyCatBella🍁 06:50, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per all above passes NPROF and NAUTHOR clearly. Slovenichibo (talk) 09:13, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
