A radio personality, but I am afraid he doesn't meet the threshold of WP:BIO. The article cites two reliable sources, and I cannot find any further ones; yet only one of them is about the subject - the other mentions him in passing. I think it's the case of WP:UPANDCOMING / WP:TOOSOON; the single good ref describes him as a "rising star" - but I don't think he has risen enough to be notable yet.

 * Keep: two sources are about him (perhaps someone didn't look "below the fold" in the "Diversities" article to find the profile of him), and the "Our radio stations..." article talks about him to quite an extent, not just "in passing". Pam  D  20:25, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Diversity, written in first person, is hardly reliable, it's a self-written company order ad piece ("diversity employee profile"). The few sentences at are not what I'd classify at "quite an extent". All I see there about the subject is this: "[show]'s researcher and contributor, Zbyszek Zalinski, is, as you might guess from the name, Polish. ... his own family roots lie in a town, Lviv, now in Ukraine, but once part of Poland. Maybe he has conflicted loyalties". Please tell me what am I missing there? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  02:29, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

imho, the en wiki AfD process is nonlinear and arbitrary, with capricious, unpredictable outcomes frankly pegged often to summary execut^H^H^H^H^H^H voting, e.g Agnieszka's Dowry, a "non notable" 18 years old print as books/permanent web installation poetry serial with rare shared ISSN. So... fwiw, Zalinski co-wrote "The Media and the Campaign" in this academic book - http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?is=0230500382 -- whether that provides escape velocity for attaining notability, devil knows. --Mareklug talk 05:33, 26 March 2014 (UTC) 
 * Weak delete (with no prejudice to recreation later) - With every respect to the subject, per nominators rationale, this would appear to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Doesn't appear (yet) to meet WP:ANYBIO and/or WP:ENTERTAINER. Guliolopez (talk) 23:56, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what the first three quarters of your comment mean, but as for critique of AfD process, I think en wiki is much better than the chaos on pl wiki. At least en wiki has rules, pl wiki has primarily "widzimisie" logic. For book authors, see WP:AUTHOR. 1. no. 2. no. 3. no. 4. no. So, no, his book co-authorsip doesn't seem to matter, as far as I can tell. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:13, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. For me, the solid coverage of the recent Irish Examiner article plus the more marginal coverage in the other sources just gets him over the notability bar. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * But it's the single source dedicated to him. GNG demands other sources, and the few other we have are brief passing mentions. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:56, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not meet notability requirements for either media personalities or for writers. Not enough coverage to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
