 * Keep Okay, I don't read Polish, so you can research this better than me, but common sense says this guy is notable, given the medals he has earned, the length of his career and the widespread galleries that display his work. Mark the article with verify if you want, and there could be a bit less editorializing in the text, but this does not at all appear to fall under WP:NN. Capmango 21:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Campnango. I don't get the part about original research-- did the author snap the photos?  "Original research" is overused, and because it's not consistently applied, an argument that's no longer taken seriously.  I'm not sure how else one writes an article about the latest episode of "Ghost Whisperer" (citation to the Journal of Ghost Whisperer Studies?  Don't think so...).  In this case, it's clear that the author translated the Polish article and added some other information not contained therein.  Like Cap, I don't read Polish either, so I'm not going to be grouczy about an article about Graczyk. Mandsford 22:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
