Homophobic Racist Anti-feminist

Wolniewicz was known for being a racist-homophobic radio personality. Sources tell this: , page 98, . He was a radio personality for 20 years on the far right bigoted Radio Maryja: . Most of the article has no sources and looks like it was written by a fan.Alexia Bold (talk) 06:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

In obituaries:

1. Gazeta Wrocławska, wiadomosci: Polish: " Słynął z kontrowersyjnych poglądów m.in. na temat transplantacji i feminizmu, który uważał za sprzeczny z naturą. Jego poglądy często uznawane były za antysemickie i islamofobiczne." English: " He was famous for controversial views, including on transplantation and feminism, which he considered to be contrary to nature. His views were often considered anti-Semitic and Islamophobic."

2. Gazeta Wyborcza: Polish: "Jego kontrowersyjne poglądy były trudne do zaakceptowania nie tylko przez jego przeciwników, ale również w środowisku, w którym się obracał ..." English: "His controversial views were difficult to accept not only by his opponents, but also in the environment in which he turned". Covers specifics like antisemitism and preaching the sinking of immigrant boats.

3. Rzeczpospolita: Polish: "Poglądy Wolniewicza budziły kontrowersje. Miał wyjątkowo radykalny niechętny stosunek do transplantacji ... Jego poglądy często uznawane były za antysemickie i islamofobiczne". English: "Wolniewicz's views were controversial. He had an extremely radical reluctance to transplant ... His views were often considered anti-Semitic and Islamophobic". Covers specifics. .

Most of the space in the obituaries is on the radical views. An extremist on the radio and TV. An extremist on YouTube.Alexia Bold (talk) 10:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Content sourced to Wolniewicz's book

Wolniewicz was a far right troll, this is the way he is covered in reliable sources. Lately, large blocks of fawning supportive content based on original synthesis of Wolniewicz's screeds was added to the article. This has to go. Alexia Bold (talk) 10:02, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

”far right troll” eh? - I tagged NPOV this article for now. Someone should look at it more closely - GizzyCatBella🍁 13:52, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Concur, content from Wolniewicz's own book is not good.--SalutV (talk) 04:12, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Commentary instead of facts

The material presented below is purely subjective and contains a specific view of assessment of Wolniewicz's views, instead of focusing on facts, which would allow the reader to form an opinion of their own. Let's focus on improving the version of the article with much fuller factography, and which puts an emphasis on Wolniewicz's academic work, instead of focusing only on the socially controversial issues, with a single interpretation being presented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamwtw (talkcontribs) 21:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Vote

  • A, because it uses 3rd party reliable sources. Wolniewicz was a far-right media personality and his writings are filled with oddities and bigotry. Wolniewicz's own writing is not neutral. Alexia Bold (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)<--- Alexia Bold (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • B, because it is much more comprehensive and a better basis for further work. That version provides a rich biography, bibliography, and an overview of Wolniewicz's scientific work, in the fields of logic, philosophy and theology. While his most recent public appearances have attracted in some cases media interest, the article shouldn't focus on that aspect alone; Wolniewicz's main contributions are present in his writings, books and essays. It's true that some mainstream media have described that Wolniewicz's work *might* be viewed as e.g. islamophobic, it doesn't mean that it an encyclopaedic entry should state as a fact that Wolniewicz was islamphobic - these are different things.
