Outside of some coverage of his failed bid in 2009 there's nothing else that seems to suggest notability, and even that incident doesn't seem to cover it - not everything that makes news equals notability; in Polish media this was really no different from men bites dog ("look, a Pole is a politician outside Poland"). Majority of others claims are unreferenced, and none of them seems to suggest notability (membership in a tiny political party, failed election bids, etc.). Chairmanship in Federation of Young European Greens doesn't seem to be significant, neither (the position is not notable, the organization is barely notable itself). It's now 3 years later and the lack of notability for this bio should be even more apparent now.

 * Comment: With the passage of time, I'd say the subject has not been shown to be notable. I also see there's no polish wikipedia version, it was deleted awhile back.--Milowent • hasspoken  19:12, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as above, and I would also take with a pinch of salt the claim that this is the first Polish citizen to stand for the European Parliament outside Poland. Poland is and has long been a country of emigration, and very many people, probably millions, in other EU countries have dual citizenship. I see no reason to think that the source, even though usually reliable, has performed any checks as to whether any previous candidate has had Polish citizenship, and I don't believe that there is any way that such a check could be performed.
