The result was keep‎. There is consensus that BeanieFan11's sources have shown that the subject is still important and well-known, a good indicator that sources from his heyday likely exist. (non-admin closure) Toadspike [Talk] 13:25, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I feel like almost no effort is being put into many of these noms. He played numerous first-tier matches in the 1970s in Poland/France and still today gets interviewed by many newspapers as a "legend" and a "famous" footballer of the 1970s. He's frequently consulted today for his opinions on Polish football, e.g. this ("Wojciech Tyc, a member of the legendary Odra Opole"), this ("Wojciech Tyc was a terror on the football pitch in Poland in the 1970s. He was a striker who helped change the image of the Opole team from a small team to one that the biggest names had to reckon with."), this, this ("Wojciech Tyc, a former long-time striker of Odra Opole and a representative of Poland ... [he] represented the Opole club in the years 1972-1981. He played in the senior Polish national team once, in 1977, in a friendly match with Sweden. He was also on a long list of players considered in the composition of the World Cup in 1978, and in subsequent years he also played in the Olympic team. After leaving Odra, he went to France, where he ended his career, playing successively for FC Valenciennes, Amiens SC and US Argentan. Many years after ending his career, he still closely follows the activities of the Polish national team") and this ("Wojciech Tyc is one of the legends of Odra Opole. For many seasons he was the club's best sniper, and in 1977 he even played in the Polish national team. For two months Tyc has been managing the new football centre on Północna Street. However, the councillors from the audit committee want to look into the form of his employment. The complaint in this matter is already in the city hall."). It is absolutely inconceivable that he would not have received in-depth coverage in Poland / France in the 1970s, when he was most prominent, given how highly he is still discussed today.

  If he is so famous, why are there no good sources about him in his article?? WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 16:18, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  A third of all of Wikipedia is in stub-condition. That the article is in poor quality in no way means that the subject is non-notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:26, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep – This is a case where the player's notability is linked to regional and offline material, thus the sources presented by BeanieFan11 point out the basics for the article to be maintained. Svartner (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – Analysis of BeanieFan11 sources will be helpful. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 13:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
