Hello User:CatcherStorm nice to meet you! Could you please explain the reasons why this article is considered for deletion. Please indicate which sections should be rewritten. Can you point to any good templates that show a well written bio of a living person? My article is mainly a translation of the article written by Prof. Subieta on the Polish wiki: (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micha%C5%82_W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Sobolewski) 5 years ago. It only has some updates. Today I added some more references to keynote lectures by Sobolewski. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prubach (talk • contribs) 13:49, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * To show the topic passes notability you need to find independent and substantial writings from other people about Michael Vladyslav Sobolewski, or his work. For most academics these don't exist and so I think about 90% of articles about these people should be deleted. In this case all the references appear to be connected to the subject and thus unsuitable for proving WP:GNG. There are a number of get out of deletion free rules made up for academics, but I don't see these applying in this case either. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:22, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Graeme Bartlett, Nice to meet you! In your delete comment the searches "Find sources: "Michael Vladyslav Sobolewski" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR" are invalid since they search for "Michael Vladyslav Sobolewski" while he is known as "Michael Sobolewski". When you do it for "Michael Sobolewski" you can find in "books" and "scholars" categories a lot of references.

I have added recently multiple links to Sobolewski’s keynotes. When he is invited by leading research organizations in the world to present his research results and the organizers of conferences (leading scientists in the world) write about him when advertising their conferences, this are the instances of expressing notability. Being an international keynote speaker is the highest notability for scientists and researchers. He was invited to give a keynote to the members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and received the certificate (http://sorcersoft.org/docs/CAE-Lecture-2014.pdf) from the Persistent of CAE. He is the Honorary Professor of Computer Science at the Ulyanovsk State University (Russia http://sorcersoft.org/about/photos/HP-diploma.jpg). Received ISPE Life Time Achievement Award (http://sorcersoft.org/docs/ISPE-LTAA-2014.pdf) on the occasion of his keynote at the Oakland University, MI. These are three instances or others expressing recognition for his work and research results.

He is not just academic, he designed many real world systems for GE businesses while working at GE Global Research Center, now his SORCER (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SORCER) developed initially at TTU is expanded at AFRL/WPAFB and is used to design the next generation of air vehicles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prubach (talk • contribs) 09:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. I searched for "Michael Sobolewski" and "Michael W. Sobolewski" on Scholar, Books and News and resulting citations don't seem sufficient for WP:PROF. Nothing else suggests passing GNG, nobody seems to have dedicated as much as a interview to him (ping me if any in-depth coverage is found), there is a big list of awards, mostly unreferenced, and they all seem minor. Also a well-meaning WP:COI write up per . PS. He may be notable on pl wiki since their PROF inclusion makes having a habilitation sufficient, through I started a discussion anyway: pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/biografie/2020:01:13:Michał Władysław Sobolewski. PS. Dear Prubach, have you read WP:COISELF: "You should generally refrain from creating articles about yourself, or anyone you know, unless through the Articles for Creation process. If you have a personal connection to a topic or person, you are advised to refrain from editing those articles directly and to provide full disclosure of the connection if you comment about the article on talk pages or in other discussions." --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:36, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. This page reads as a classic promotion. WP:COI is obvious. My very best wishes (talk) 19:09, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. User talk:Piotrus nice to meet you. I don't see any WP:COISELF as this article is a translation of an article written previously in Polish by a person who has no COI. I noticed that the Polish article has been cleaned up - this one can also be cleaned up according to your recommendation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prubach (talk • contribs) 21:12, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
