Szczepan Siekierka

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Main claim to fame seems to be being President of the Polish Society for the Remembrance of the Victims of Crimes Committed by Ukrainian Nationalists SUOZUN (Polish: Stowarzyszenie Upamiętnienia Ofiar Zbrodni Ukraińskich Nacjonalistów). This is a very small association. Subject doesn't pass PROF/AUTHOR (h-index of around 3, together with co-authors). He doesn't pass GNG (he gets a namedrop in an annual ceremony), nor the SOLDIER SNG. Much of publications appear to be in the associations newsletter (Na Rubieży) or something similar.

 * Delete writer/activist, but books are neither widely reviewed nor widely cited. No SIGCOV of him, or profiles of him found. fails WP:AUTHOR, fails WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete/drafity. His small association recently got a minor governmental award that he received on its behalf, but it's not really saying much about his notability. But we don't have a reliable way to estimate h-index of scholars publishing not in English and in non-English journals. But even GScholar gives a dozen+ publications for him, with few top cited in 5-15 citation range. His work had impact and received academic reviews (ex. ). That's not bad, but pretty borderline for even good faithed stretch of NPROF. There's also some coverage of him as an activist - he met the president and there's a bit of coverage in media, through not a lot (GNews for "Szczepan Siekierka"). Not much. I'd suggest to draftify this in the creator userspace, I wouldn't be surprised if the subject would receive some governmental awards like Polonia Restituta that may push him more into notability. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  05:40, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Shorten and remove the "Publications" section as per Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus's impact analysis.Zezen (talk) 08:53, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep
 * Delete On balance, there aren't enough significant sources for GNG, and while it's a borderline academic SNG case, I don't think there's any "gotcha" element like a prestigious enough award to push it into clearly meeting requirements. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 23:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
