The result was redirect to Polish resistance. This AFD discussion is all over the map but I'm going to close it with the suggestion to transform the title into a redirect as an ATD. Should good sources appear in the future, the article can be recovered and improved. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:18, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article (which is a target of the Polish partisans redirect) hasn't been significantly improved in 15 years, and arguably is an WP:OR-ish treatment of a concept of Polish non-urban resistance in World War II. It does not have a Polish interwiki, and my search for the term "leśni" did not find any SIGCOV; I located two Polish scholarly article using the term in the title but a search within them did not show that they even discuss it in the body, The only properly referenced sentence (book with page number) was added by me long time ago (I just merged it to a relevant article); the other referenced part (books without page numbers) is a summary of the story of Henryk Dobrzański. In this sorry state I am afraid the article has issues with OR/V, and as a treatment of the Polish non-urban WWII resistance, it's so poor it merits WP:TNT. The best WP:ATD I can think of is to redirect this to Polish resistance, as Polish partisans in forests existed in other periods too (and in fact the two Polish scholarly articles are found talk about post-WWII era cursed soldiers anyway). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Alternatively, redirect. Renata•3 04:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, per nom to Polish resistance. — Moops ^⋠T⋡ 06:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I would really prefer to see this rewritten into an article about Polish resistance operations in the forests, rather then see this disappear. - GizzyCatBella🍁 14:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the Polish resistance article might be a good idea, we can always do a split later if more and better info turns up. Oaktree b (talk) 20:41, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b There is nothing to merge, all content is already in other relevant articles (or unreferenced). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:33, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Polish resistance movement in World War II. The only substantive material appears (perhaps more briefly) in its 1940 section. Possibly the explanation of the name of this article needs to be added to that one somewhere. It is the equivalent of the French resistance becing called Maquis (which refers to woods or scrubland, where they could hide). Peterkingiron (talk) 14:09, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. If Piotrus thinks it can't be salvaged, I am confident it can't be. Srnec (talk) 04:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as there are two different proposed redirects.

Redirect per nom's suggestion to Polish resistance as it appears to be a reasonable search term. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The term is not a plausible search term. The quoted meaning has possibly been invented by the author of one of the works referenced in the article. Content-wise, nothing to merge either. — kashmīrī ^TALK 03:39, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
