[edit]

I'd object to deletion - the article just needs cleaning up (I put the article on WP for a student who couldn't manage themselves. They will now hopefully do more work on it to address any concerns). It is obviously a valid subject, and there is enough factual info in the article that can be kept. Malick78 (talk) 23:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly the problem. the student you mentioned research this himself. This is not permissable under Wikipedia guidelines. see WP:OR for more details. Passportguy (talk) 00:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree; the subject is notable, and writing this article is not more ORish then any other Wikipedia article. That said, upon further review, this article is rather poor. Second half is useless - it contains brief summaries of bios of Krzysztof Kamil Baczynski, Tadeusz Gajcy and Generation of Columbuses. The article contains obvious grammatical errors ("whose adolescence holded" - this and the reference section suggests to me that the author is not a native speaker of English?) and wasn't even spellchecked ("Name stemed from"). The article is inconsistent (there is a section entitled The Columbus generation but the Baczynski section mentions the Kolumbs generation) and uses wrong terminology, that would be easy to fix if the author bothered looking at relevant wiki articles (there was no "National Army"; Baczynski served in the Home Army). The author didn't pay much attention to names, hence several are misspelled (Krysztof Kamil Baczynski). This article needs much work, both content wise and style wise. The author may want to look at the newly Featured Article on Polish culture during World War II for some inspiration. I'd be happy to offer further assistance; please note that with all my criticism, if - as I expect - this is a work of a Polish high school student, this is a good start (but if this would be the work of an English college student... I wouldn't grade it highly). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:56, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
