Recent edits to this article, particularly those made in 2023, suggest potential conflict of interest editing. IP addresses 174.101.236.92 and 2603:6010:e303:ea86:102c:cd02:f79c:9708, as well as the user Ordnungman, have made substantial additions and changes that appear to contain detailed personal information about the subject. These edits may not align with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and could potentially be made by the subject himself or someone closely associated with him. This possibly led to several additional issues:

Notability: It's unclear whether the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for academics. There appears to be insufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to establish notability. Without contributions from users with COIs, little remains of this article.

Neutrality: The article seems to be written from a promotional perspective, lacking balance and critical viewpoints. It does not adequately cover potential criticisms.

References: The article contains dead links. It needs proper citations from reliable, independent sources to support its claims.

Article quality: The overall structure and content of the article need significant improvement to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

Biography of Living Person (BLP) issues: As this is an article about a living person, it requires particularly rigorous sourcing and a neutral tone.

External links: There is an excessive number of external links within the article text.

It's important to establish whether this article meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. Can we find significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to establish notability? What steps should be taken to properly source the article's claims, which have potential COI? And is there sufficient editorial interest to maintain this as a standalone article?

I've added relevant maintenance tags to the article to reflect these concerns. Input from uninvolved editors would be greatly appreciated to help determine the appropriate course of action. Bakuniancheese (talk) 21:06, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update September 2024: Recent edits by address 2603:6010:e303:ea86:10d2:3f4a:fa1e:9b3e continues the pattern of potential conflict of interest editing. On September 4, 2024, a user at this address added uncited information about a visit to the University of Bialystok, Poland from September to October 2024. This addition appears to be very recent personal information about the subject's activities, further suggesting that the subject or someone closely associated with him may be editing this article. This raises continued concerns about self-promotion and the article's neutrality.

Given the lack of response to previous concerns and the continuation of problematic edits, I propose we consider either significantly revising this article to meet Wikipedia's standards or discussing its potential deletion. Input from uninvolved editors would be greatly appreciated. Bakuniancheese (talk) 15:05, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
