Zdzisław Józef Porosiński

Was accepted through the AfC process, but can't find enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and am not seeing how he passes WP:NPROF.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

 * keep I found a obituary in Mathematica Applicanda which indicates notability and is clearly a RS:
 * Kamińska, Agnieszka, and Krzysztof J. Szajowski. "Zdzisław Józef Porosiński: a memoir." Mathematica Applicanda 45.2 (2017).

 * It's promising, but it has the same authors as the shorter obituary already used as a source in the article, so doesn't yet meet the requirement (assuming we're going through WP:GNG here) of having multiple in-depth sources that are independent both of each other and of the subject. The other sources in the article aren't really in-depth. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , we'd have to be using GNG, since I can't see anything which meets WP:NSCHOLAR, unless I missed something.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. Multiple reliable sources (although obituaries, but written by scholars): in addition to the one mentioned above, there is . Yes, same authors, but different journal and the article is somewhat rewritten. So it's kind of borderline whether he meets GNG requirement for multiple reliable sources. While he does not clearly meet NPROF (according to GScholar, his most cited paper, The full-information best choice problem with a random number of observations from 1987, has 52 cites, second, co-authored with A. Kamińska, On robust Bayesian estimation under some asymmetric and bounded loss function, from 2009, 22, then everything else is in single digits), he does meet the Polish Wikipedia's one (I just mention it since the article is sure to remain on pl wiki) as pl wiki criteria see habilitation as sufficient for notability (this was discussed for NPROF but did not gain sufficient support for becoming our policy). Overall I think that we are way too notable for sportspeople, and not enough for academics, so given this is a borderline case I argue for keeping. It's ridiculous we would keep a biography of some soccer player who just played in one bigger match, fails GNG but meets NSPORT, yet delete a biography of a scholar who had two academic obituaries published about him. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete while he may make the grade for Polish WP, I see no notability for the English project under WP:GNG or NPROF. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:22, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
