This unreferenced WP:BLP-violating musician's only real claim to notability is through membership of Made of Hate, which itself is a band of questionable notability. I have tagged this for speedy deletion and PROD, both of which were removed without explanation by the author of the article. This guy appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO, and so I suggest deletion. — sparklism hey! 09:59, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect to Made of Hate. No sourced content that isn't in that article. Plausible redirect. --Michig (talk) 16:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm. I can see the logic in redirecting to the band article (and thought about this before nominating it for deletion), but a couple of things gave me pause. Firstly, I am not convinced that the band itself meet the notability criteria anyway (though admittedly now I'm looking at it, I don't really know why I didn't bring Made of Hate here instead, though I haven't done any proper research on them as yet), and secondly, I'm not sure how plausible a search term Michał "Mike" Kostrzyński is given the non-English characters and the "Mike" bit. Plain old Mike Kostrzynski would perhaps be a better title to redirect from. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, Michig (and everyone else, for that matter). Thanks.
- Also, when you say "no sourced content that isn't in [the band's] article", there is no sourced content whatsoever in this article, and very little in Made of Hate. — sparklism hey! 14:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
- You may be right on the value of this as a redirect. The band may or may not be notable, but while we have an article we should assume notability - I've seen a lot of poorer articles prove to be on clearly notable subjects once a proper search has been undertaken. --Michig (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

- Delete by redirecting as unrefeenced BLP. Perhaps he will gain notability and/or sources will be found eventually, but as written he fails GNG/BLP policies. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:21, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Delete by redirecting I agree with Piotrus' argument. Maybe redirect should be from Mike Kostrzynski or Michał Kostrzynski? -- Marek.69 talk 16:01, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
