Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Swirski
That is the problem with these damn academics, |notability is often hard to prove.  However, in this case, it was somewhat easier.  I was able to find references at Google Scholar as provided here http://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&q=%22Peter+Swirski%22+English&hl=en&as_sdt=2000.  In addition, there were a few references at Google News, as shown here http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Peter+Swirski%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnG=Search+Archives.  And finally, as quoted from Google Books “…his novels and short stories have been translated into over forty languages and have sold over twenty-five million copies”, as shown here http://books.google.com/books?id=nRQo2I2U60sC&dq=%22Peter+Swirski%22&ei=fwM8S56rBpSuyAS2qLjLAQ.  I believe this meets our requirements for inclusion
