 * Comment - Thank you. The article in under construction. Andrzej Niwiński is well recognizable author in Egyptology, but I am not sure if he have already any biography written. I will try to expland it as much as it is possible, and I will check the references again.

Relisting comment: Relisting, I'd like to hear some more assessments of sources brought up in this discussion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 00:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Multiple reviews of his books (, plus offline in: Archeologia Żywa 1996, 2004, 2005, 2006; Ars Regia 1994; and Acta Poloniae Historica 2006), meets WP:NAUTHOR and likely WP:PROF. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. Three more book reviews:, , . With the ones above that's enough for WP:AUTHOR for me. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is the case of someone who should be notable, IMHO, but has trouble formally meeting GNG/NPROF. The best source about him I've found so far is a brief mention on a blog of one of his students: about him receiving a major Polish state award (but I am not sure if technically this is enough to make him notable): Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. I abstain since as I said I think he should be notable, but formally, he has major issues with SIGCOV. Note that he is notable for pl wiki because habilitation is sufficient for any academic there. We have different criteria, for better or worse. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  04:08, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep WP:NPROF is the one and only SNG that that community has unambiguously agreed sits separate from the GNG: "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers, and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources....This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH, etc., and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the general notability guideline." Satisfies NPROF c2 and c7 with the award of the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland - one of only 17 awarded that year, see pl:Order_Zasługi_Rzeczypospolitej_Polskiej. (Declaration - I finalised the 2022 stats). Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 02:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
