 * Delete per nom. Not notable. DarthVad e r 09:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete falls just outside of the notability border, but 2 notes: 1. Google for her name as given in article title draws only 12 hits, but take out her middle name and the hit count jumps to 1,930 . 2. Most pages about her seem to be relevant but in Polish. Kimchi.sg 12:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete regretfully. Article is interesting though.  Recreate after notibility and importance are established.  --Starionwolf 18:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't delete Do a Google on Kinga and Chopin or Kinga AND Hitchhiking, and you get 10,100 hits. She was seldomly known by her surname, and the "middle" name is actually a nickname. She hasn't re-invented the world, but her book won a prize and her photos were fabulous. In my opinion, dying while doing what you are passionate about is enough to make one notable.

 * Anon's only 2 edits are to this AfD and the article. Kimchi.sg 16:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't Delete: Please don't she might not have been a superstar but to those who knew her or of her she was a superstar who inspired many many people in her life.. I know u can probably say that abt a lot of people but this woman truly lived life to the full and I would like the whole world to know of her life... she deserves much more than a stub...

 * Don't delete Kinga's contribution to popular culture is notable as author, photographer and traveler. Her pseudonym was 'Kinga Freespirit', and the approx. 1000 google results from this name- as well as the content of the pages- show that she has made a lasting mark both on and off the web.

 * Ambivalent She seems to be popular with gee isn't world-wide travel enlightening oh wow crowd...but most everybody else probably didn't care. Williamb 14:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article says that she has won awards for her travel writing, which ought to make her notable enough. Deyyaz [ Talk 16:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - there are plenty of articles that are of dubious importance to the overwhelming mass of users and she is close enough to notability (over 10000 hits according to one of the above users) that she should remain. Exercise caution with generosity. Escobar@gmail.com 20:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Close, but just falls short of sufficient notability for own article. --Auger Martel 12:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Neutral: There's only a handful of unique English-language Google hits for "Kinga Freespirit". I have a hunch though that there may be more in Polish. Any chance of getting some assistance here from someone who speaks the language? There is also a corresponding article in the polish wikipedia (|http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinga). Is there anything noteworthy there? How about the prize the article claims she won - the "Kolos", and the claim of her interview in National Geographic -- is there any truth to those, and if so are they notable enough? I do also agree with Williamb's comment above --AbsolutDan (talk) 19:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - After reading the deletion policy, i see that the main issue this entry has is the fact that Ms. Choszcz is dead. I only discovered her work today, but i have been struck by her unquestioning belief that people are intrinsically good.  I have also been impressed with her insistence on returning an exploited child to her family in Ghana shortly before she died.  Ms. Chozcz was an author, photographer, and humanitarian, who i believe deserves her place in Wikipedia history.  --judyb —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.218.42.170 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 18 June 2006  (UTC)
