• Delete: Character biography can easily be included in the plot for the movie he appears in - How I Unleashed World War II - which is currently lacking. Rinbro (talk) 19:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Keep Could perhaps redirect to the movie he appears in but the character fails WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:41, 5 April 2021 (UTC) PS. I started a deletion discussion on pl wiki at pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/artykuły/2021:04:05:Franek Dolas, but it seems it will be kept there. Editors there are arguing he is well known and the article will almost certainly be kept there, but the sourcing found is still poor. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC) PPS. He appears in the name of one academic paper [1] but I don't have access to it, and I cannot conclude he is discussed in depth in the paper (I can only access the first two pages, and he is not mentioned on those). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:23, 10 April 2021 (UTC) PPPS. Changing to keep. I got access to the academic paper above, and it contains some analysis of the character (I'll try to expand the article shortly). In addition to the SIGCOV in this one academic article, it also cites some works - Polish movie reviews from the communist era? - not digitized, but some mention him in the name and may contain further coverage (some are quoted). Ping User:Rinbro, User:Rorshacma (note I expanded the article with the content of the academic source in question). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/Redirect to How I Unleashed World War II - There is nothing to indicate that the character is sufficiently independently notable from the single film he appeared in that a WP:SPLIT is needed. Redirecting to the article on the film would be fine, but as there is no sourced content, there is nothing that can be merged. Rorshacma (talk) 15:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep after it has been expanded already - GizzyCatBella🍁 04:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect - Currently nothing overly substantial has been provided for the character. Even if more sources do exist, the main article is severely lacking in content, so all content on the character belongs there until such a time that the weight on the topic requires a split. TTN (talk) 16:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to How I Unleashed World War II: No notability independent of the film. Clearly fails GNG. DocFreeman24 (talk) 04:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
