The top result of a Google search for '"helena jaworska" -wikipedia' is a genealogy website.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Without verification, the "57,000" claim may as well be 57. This article suffers from total verifiability failure. The top result of a Google search for '"helena jaworska" -wikipedia' is a genealogy website. '"Tę Jedną Noc" helena jaworska', a search for what was supposedly her one 'hit', turns up nothing, the less specific '"Tę Jedną Noc" helena' turns up 6 unique non-Wiki hits, none of which appear to be talking about a song (note that Helena is supposedly the name of the album). Arguments to keep based on those claims to notability consequently carry little weight.

If references are found, there is no prejudice against the article being recreated with verified information. I will of course restore the content on request if that happens. --Sam Blanning 12:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Helena Jaworska

Considered nominating as Speedy per A7, but there is (barely) enough in the article to suggest there might be some degree of importance or significance. However, this person was a one-hit wonder who sold 57,000 copies of her first album, which was released in 1990. The follow-up only sold 9,000. I'd say delete, but think it should be opened up for discussion. Agent 86 00:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, according to your own description she meets WP:MUSIC. Misplaced Pages isn't only for extremely popular musicians. Two albums selling several thousand copies a piece is more than many groups can claim, and we have verifiable data about her, so there's no real reason to delete. The musicians that we delete are the bands that practice out of someone's garage and have no information out there about them, making articles about them unverifiable. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Follow-up: I know WP:MUSIC is out there, but it's not policy, and I couldn't verify any of the criteria that are on that guideline. (My bad - I did fail to mention I could not verify any of the information in this article. Maybe someone who speaks Polish can). Agent 86 01:02, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per nom—she had a hit, and this makes her notable. Tyrenius 01:51, 27 June 2006 (UTC) Per later discussion—if it can't be verified, it should be deleted. If it can be verified, then keep. Tyrenius 11:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, one-hit wonders are notable and do meet WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk 02:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Meets WP:MUSIC and is a one-hit wonder as well. However, the absence of any verification is a concern to me. --Siva1979 02:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as per User:Siva1979. Pascal.Tesson 03:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have real problems in verifying this. A Google search comes up with nothing to verify this article. . I would suggest keeping the article if we could verify it. At the moment, I can't. Capitalistroadster 03:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
It might be because she is from Poland and not from an English-speaking country (seeing as the Internet is predominantly English). —EdGl 03:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
