Fails GNG, NPROF. Only one ref, and that's in Polish. This article's been around for about a month now, notability probably would have been established by now if it existed. Google search shows mainly Wiki content. South Nashua (talk) 15:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The corresponding article in Polish WP cites Encyklopedia PWN. If he's notable enough for PWN, then he's probably also notable enough for us. — Kpalion(talk) 18:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Under Wikipedia policy, Wikipedia (regardless of language), isn't a reliable source. However, that link isn't to the Polish Wikipedia. Here's his article on the Polish Wikipedia. Only two online references there (one going to that other Polish Wiki), and a few offline ones, but it's unclear how any of them establish notability per PROF. No efforts have been made by experts on this subject to clarify notability as well. He appears to just be a run-of-the-mill geography professor. South Nashua (talk) 21:24, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that Polish Wikipedia is a reliable source; I'm saying that Encylopedia PWN is. The article says that Kostrowicki was a deputy president of the International Geographical Union (and so does Encylopedia PWN), which, I believe, statisfies WP:Prof. — Kpalion(talk) 21:34, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If he was president, then yeah, he'd probably meet #6 of WP:PROF. But #6 indicates "highest level", and being a deputy means there was a level above him. South Nashua (talk) 02:56, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Encyklopedia PWN says he's a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. That definitely statisfies WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:18, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Included in PWN Encyklopedia. Any topic good enough for another major encyclopedia is good for us. Also, membership in PAS makes him pass PROF #3. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: I rewrote the stub with information sourced from Encyklopedia PWN. — Kpalion(talk) 15:03, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Given recent edits and clear notability by being included in the PWN, the most notable Polish encyclopedia. Nicnote  •  ask me a question  •  contributions  23:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a commonly known fact among people familiar with the topic that he was one of the most important Polish geographers. And this is not true that there is only one reference – a reliable book is cited too. Propositum (talk) 22:32, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
