Article Structure
In attempt to provide a simpler more factual structure to the article, I re-organized the article into subsections (Speaking, Writing, Personal Life) and added numerous external references (the lack thereof being one of the motivations for a recent CFD).
This is the version with my edits:
Subsequently Blythwood simplified the article to one that is more of a summary with prose rather than explicit lists of notable (per external reference) accomplishments:
I am not sure if this is merely a difference in article structuring personal preference, or if one or the other of these is more "correct" for Wikipedia, so I am raising it here as a talk item in the hopes that others will help clarify which is better for a Wikipedia bio article (preferably with Wikipedia citations). Thanks!

- Hello, @t Tantek. Both forms are acceptable, although yours is preferable in my Wikipedia-informed opinion. Regardless, this BLP of Maciej has been saved from AfD ignominy, so all is well. I am an ardent deletionist but only when warranted. Thank you for your efforts to keep Wikipedia great!--FeralOink (talk) 02:25, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Notability concerns
I reviewed the sources here, and I am concerned they are not sufficient for
- @Piotrus: - I decided to expand this article out from the article on his company (it's Pinboard, by the way, not Pinterest - that's something else) when it became clear to me that much of his notability was for his writing and speaking rather than his company. If you look at (say) the Gruber sources, they don't even mention Pinboard. I have removed the PROD and added a few extra sources. Blythwood (talk) 12:07, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- I added some more authoritative sources, such as Time, The Atlantic, the Guardian, The Economist, which I trust helps establish notability. Mdmcginn (talk) 22:16, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
