Paweł Stasiak[edit]

Singer who's best known for being a member of a band without its own article, and whose only highlight as a solo singer is his participation in Poland's Eurovision selection, where he came last. Fails WP:MUSIC. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 00:17, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per article over at Polish Wikipedia which is quite extensive. Just my Polish is bad-ish. The band has an extensive article over at Polish Wikipedia as well. Anyway, I won't mind if the article is recreated at a later date either.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:31, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We are discussing the en.wiki article, not the pl.wiki one. At its current state, the one we have on here doesn't suggest any encyclopedic relevance for the subject. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 00:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Speedy Keep - After improvements made. Has had charting number 1 song which is referenced. Has been acting as well. WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC.BabbaQ (talk) 08:13, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Plus he has competed in Dancing with the Stars in Poland. Clearly notable.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:22, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But that's not him having the #1 song, it's his group Papa Dance (which is what this article is mostly about anyway), meaning that we'd be better off moving his page to the group's and leaving the redirect. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 11:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not to do Papa Dance's article as well? I think, it should solve a problem with Stasiak's solo article here. Serecki (talk) 23:41, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If he has no relevance as a soloist, the sparse infos about him can be merged into the band's page. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 15:58, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep This artist has been in the news since the 80s. He was a lead singer in an extremely popular boy band that broke apart and got together again. He's been on television as himself more than once, including Dancing with the Stars and the popular show Father Matthew (Ojciec Mateusz). He's gone on multiple international tours and has sung more than one hit song. His personal life is constantly reported on in the media as a former boyband member, from his hair to his love life to his weight. He recently fell in love with Sweden and reinvented himself as Pablosson, which has also received international attention. I added several references to his article. I'm surprised this person was nominated as a quick Google News search of his name being reported on in hundreds of articles since at least the early 2000s. I added several citations to his article, and it easily passes WP:MUSIC (1, 2, 4, 5. 6, 8. 10, 11, 12). Lonehexagon (talk) 19:10, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I guess putting articles up for deletion is the most effective way to improve them drastically! At this point, the page can clearly be kept. :) ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 19:27, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please take a moment to review WP:BEFORE. It is your responsibility to check for possible sources before nominating an article for deletion. Lonehexagon (talk) 19:51, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't speak Polish, which is the language 100% of the sources are in, plus we judge based on the state of the article on en.wiki and not on other wikis. ×º°”˜`”°º×ηυηzια×º°”˜`”°º× 21:42, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
