Please read WP:RS, WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Using a staff page from a university is supplementary material, not a secondary source. All it demonstrates is that the academic exists: it does not attest to their notability. If being a published academic were enough to demonstrate notability, there would be hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia articles for academics. While guidelines for WP:SCHOLAR may allow for some slack, there are overriding policies and guidelines which preclude adding a scholar simply because they exist. As a fundamental principle, WP:IINFO should be applied. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Page of university is reliable source. Which information is poorly sourced? Hrytsak is not average academic, he won award of "Przegląd Wschodni". For everybody who are interesting in today historiography of Ukraine, it is obvious. Kmicic (talk) 08:04, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, I note that you've selected an article from Rzeczpospolita for your sources. Interesting, as it's noted for its nationalist POV. The write up in the English version Wikipedia article has only noted a mild tendency towards Polish nationalism, and the article you've selected seems... well. I think he may just be a little more well-known (or well loved) by Polish nationalists. Do you think it would be worth my developing this aspect further? I'm getting the distinct feeling that he is less famous than controversial, and it wouldn't serve the purposes of a neutral Wikipedia article to misrepresent an academic. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 10:30, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hrytsak doesn't appear to be a visiting academic at CEU any longer. Please see the Faculty of History. Neither did he show up on a search of the entire CEU site. The content of this article needs to be updated to reflect this fact, as well as establish what institution he is currently actually attached to. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
