WP:NOTMEMORIAL, that Poles have been killed (and their number) can be mentioned on a general page about the role of Poland in the event, but a list of the individuals that died is no more warranted than lists of people who died in airplane crashes (or e.g. WWII).

  Keep There are already other lists on Wikipedia of foreign volunteers who have been killed in various conflicts throughout history Salfanto (talk) 15:34, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

• Comment. Many sources this article uses are unsuitable, such as Twitter and Facebook. I can't vouch for some of the Polish sources, as my familiarity with Polish media is limited. I can't see from the sources whether or not these volunteers are notable for anything other than having died in Ukraine either. If so, they should be mentioned on a different page. However, I'm not sure which one. Maybe International Legion (Ukraine)? Cortador (talk) 10:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Some OR concerns, sure. Does it meet NLIST? There is some media coverage discussing more than one person (so, group - a list) that may suffice for NLIST: [1] (Gazeta Wyborcza), [2] (pl:dziennik.pl), [3] (defence24.pl, no wiki article yet, but IMHO notable). And there is also coverage of related fake news that should be mentioned in the article ([4]). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:02, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
• Keep. Covered by media sources, lessens the conflict's main casualties article size by branching out. Self-published sources can be replaced with mainstream ones/RS. EkoGraf (talk) 19:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
• Keep. The article needed more work. Low tier sources or unreliable removed, added reliable Polish and Ukrainian sources. Is easy and lazy to call for a deletion of a page because you dont find 3 or 4 RS. Instead the OP should ask for help. Thats all.Mr.User200 (talk) 00:30, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
