Criteria

Only articles that fulfill the following criteria should be added to the list:

• The subject is a person who was an ethnic Pole or lived in Poland.
• The article is at least of GA-class quality.

John Paul II

It is a former GA. Overall, I think the article is pretty good - I think it would be a GA/FA if it wasn't so popular/controversial and thus a turf war for various pro/anti Christian wiki factions. I think the article is good enough for our portal. One way or another, here's the link to bio blurb for the portal: [1]. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:39, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, let me sleep on it. Perhaps we could treat it as an exception. — Kpalion^(talk) 23:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

No hurry. Preferably we should update the article to modern GA standards but... :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 01:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Fine, I think we can say it's a reasonable exception. I just hope it won't set a precedent. I rewrote the blurb though. The article is quite bad actually; it focuses on facts from the pope's life, but the Teachings section is tiny (and the linked main article is start class only). Christian humanism, which was the basis of Wojtyła's philosophy, is not mentioned in the article at all (it does say he taught Christianity which is a little too abvious). — Kpalion^(talk) 09:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
