*NB being a noble , and having a decoration, do not make the grade according to WP:NOTABILITY and WP:SOLDIER.--Smerus (talk) 19:17, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The specific nobility and estate here may satiafy NPOL (did not assess). Receiving the Virtuti Militari may pass SOLDIER-1 (the next higher up is a civilian decoration. This is the highest military one). However being a general clearly satisfies SOLDIER-2.Icewhiz (talk) 19:34, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In addition of having received one of the highest Polish decorations he was also a general officer, which, according to WP:OUTCOMES (and the not binding but still useful WP:MILNG) generally satisfies notability. Atchom (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Contrary to nom's assertion, it meets WP:SOLDIER#2 as the subject had the rank of general. And it passes GNG as the subject is covered by multiple reliable sources (in further reading, the article had one already, I've copied two more from pl wiki). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, most definitely. More information will be added to the article. Nihil novi (talk) 21:02, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have added information to the article. Doubtless it could be expanded further in future. Dominik Dziewanowski was a remarkable general, was awarded the highest military distinctions of Poland and France, was a noted author and translator, and was the 1824 and 1825 Szafarnia summer-vacation host of the teenage Fryderyk Chopin. How much more could we ask for in the way of notability? Nihil novi (talk) 06:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As a general, clearly does meet the criteria of WP:SOLDIER and did when nominated. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
