Non-notable musician. All the sources I'm finding are either unreliable sources or name drops (note that I don't speak Polish and don't understand it so there may be reliable polish sources to be found). Only source on the article currently seems to be a store page. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:38, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Pl wiki has an interview in a source that's probably reliable (but WP:INTERVIEW...): [1]. Mention in the encyclopedia of Polish rock (a book) cited on pl wiki seems to be passing, he is mentioned as a member of a band, which has an entry there, but I don't think he has one. That said, I only have snippet view so I cannot be sure; index does suggest he may be covered on pages 414-418, but it's just an index. I'll ping a Polish Wikipedian who often know more than me about Polish music topics: User:Yurek88. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:04, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Co-founder and long time member of legendary Polish rock band TSA, also described as first Polish heavy metal band (e.g. P. Zieliński, Scena rockowa w PRL, 2005). His connections with TSA are mentioned in detail in Polish rock encyclopedia. And this is very reliable source, believe me. Yurek88 (talk) 11:51, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1 reliable source is typically not enough for an article on a BLP here on enWiki. We usually look for at least 3. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:56, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to TSA (band). He is better known in Poland than implied in the nomination, but there is still not enough for a stand-alone article. It appears to me that, except for occasional film work, he is usually described as a member of the band and has done little outside of their albums. The discography in his article is all TSA albums. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:04, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
