From the pope's will we can read "The personal notes have to be burnt. I wish for Don Stanislao to watch over this, to whom I thank for the extended and comprehensive collaboration and help in all these years." The source:

Don Stanislao doesn't burn the documents: "An unequivocal wish, that hasn't been fulfilled by the man to whom the pope had asked to watch over: lord Stanislao Dziwisz, secretary of Karol Wojtyla for almost 40 years......... On an interview to the Polish radio “Polskie Radio” at the beginning of June, Dziwisz says, "I have not burnt anything of the personal writings of Wojtyla, just because nothing deserves the fire, it is an enormous treasure, made of excellent texts of great variety."

What do you think of Don Stanislao’s gesture?
In your opinion, was a good decision not burning the documents he was supposed to?

unfortunately, neither of your links can be opened so i can't say 100% of the accuracy - the first took me only to the vatican website.
I think it would depend on the personal notes being discussed. if they were notes as to him own journal or such - they should be destroyed. if they are personal notes that were sent to people or written for books, them it would be debatable.
Archbishop Dziwisz may also have had conversations with Jan Pawel II after the will was written so.... unfortunately we'll never know. however, if the notes become fodder for a book -- i'll fly to krakow myself ; ) if the notes are used for the betterment of the faith - then..... i'm torn.
