Piotr Napierała

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Promotional article written by the article subject as User:TAlbinoni (Napierała's Youtube account name is albinoni9, e openly admits to being Napierała on Polish Wikipedia ). With h-index of only 2 WP:NPROF is unlikely to be met. All article's citations are to Napierała's Youtube channel (thus self-published). I don't see any substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources. NicolausPrime (talk • contribs) 23:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: h-index is not a reliable method of determining notability, BUT: The Polish article doesn't seem to have any good sources other than that one of his books was reviewed (which does not satisfy WP:NACADEMIC), Google Scholar and Search don't turn up any more sources.

 * Delete: doesnt pass WP:NPROF and doesnt seem to pass WP:NAUTHOR either as I can find no reviews of his books, academic or otherwise. The article fails to clearly display what lasting impact he has had in the field he works in. --hroest 19:17, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. Not starting a deletion at pl wiki as he meets pl wiki NPROF equivalent due to habilitation. I know this is not enough for en wiki, so for now I am just making a comment. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:18, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought Napierała doesn't have habilitation. When did that change? NicolausPrime (talk) 12:47, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * My bad. You are right, I misread the pl wiki article, he was denied a habilitaiton. This may be worth perusing: pl:Dyskusja:Piotr Napierała. FIVE pl wiki AfD equivalents, first two (2011, 2012) closed as keep, last three as no consensus (2019, 2020, 2022). In the last one I was leaning towards deletion, but clearly there was no consensus (long discussion if anyone cares to read, it should be easy to machine translate it to English). Anyway, I don't think we are seeing anyone arguing "keep" here for now, so it's a bit of a moot point. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:29, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there any evidence that his work has as significant influence on the public or academic discourse in Poland? Are there any reviews of his books in Polish? Generally even 2 reviews would pass WP:NAUTHOR but I could not find anything in JSTOR.
 * Also, in de-wiki there is a question whether the books he published are with a regular publisher or whether they are self-published - could you comment on the "Libron-Filip Lohner" publisher, it does look reputable to me but I dont speak Polish. --hroest 17:32, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Hannes Röst Regarding Libron-Filip Lohner, their about here (which can be easily one click machine translated to English) suggests some reliability, they mention they adhere to COPE standards, for example. They claim to collaborate with academic institutions, and that some of their books received various awards. As for reviews of his work, I found and another one, by Tomasz Flasiński, collected in . I hope that helps, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  05:40, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * With these two reviews, I think he basically fulfills WP:NAUTHOR per "primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". These are in-depth discussions of his work of 5 and 10 pages however of the same book about Japan. --hroest 18:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Personally I am not sure if two book reviews are enough given WP:NOTINHERITED, but I'll abstain from casting my vote here, this is a borderline case. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - a lecturer is almost never considered notable per WP:PROF. Even with millions of viewers, we have deleted some YouTubers' articles. Bearian (talk) 18:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
