20th century military general of unclear notability. According to the Polish Wikipedia, he was awarded the Virtuti Militari, but don't know if that helps him pass our notability standards, as WP:SOLDIER has been deprecated. Natg 19 (talk) 19:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article has sourcing issues, topic does not. Aside from the Virtuti Militari, which is Poland’s highest military honor, I found this in-depth article from Radio Lublin https://radio.lublin.pl/2020/09/general-franciszek-krajowski-uhonorowany-w-terespolu-stanal-pomnik-bohatera-wojny-1920-roku/(https://radio-lublin-pl.translate.goog/2020/09/general-franciszek-krajowski-uhonorowany-w-terespolu-stanal-pomnik-bohatera-wojny-1920-roku/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

I see mentions in a variety of English language books on Polish history such as https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Ukrainian_Polish_Defensive_Alliance/2T9zYXqL56AC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Franciszek+Krajowski%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA107&printsec=frontcover, https://www.google.com/books/edition/Warsaw_1920/2oXUDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Franciszek+Krajowski%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA69&printsec=frontcover, https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Russian_Civil_War_1918_1921/3gACEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Franciszek+Krajowski%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA535&printsec=frontcover, https://www.google.com/books/edition/Roma_Gypsy_Presence_in_the_Polish_Lithua/C_4OEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Franciszek+Krajowski%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA245&printsec=frontcover. There are also a number of Polish language sources. I acknowledge none of these English sources are in particular detail, but there is sufficient bulk that he seems to be at least reasonably well known based on Polish language sources.

Biographical information is apparently also available in Generalicja Polska (I & II), by Henryk P. Kosk.

Accordingly, I think there’s enough coverage here to support notability under GNG or BIO.Jo7hs2 (talk) 20:31, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Terrible article, notable person. Rank of general, highest decoration (Virtuti Militari), and has a dedicated biography in a number of works, including the Polish Biographical Dictionary ([1]). I see other biographies of him, many short (footnote-size) but here's an entry in another reference work: [2]. And one more: [3]. Passes NBIO easily. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources mentioned above, hopefully they are added to the article. // Timothy :: talk 18:34, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is plenty of sourcing on the Polish Wikipedia article. Clearly meets WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:07, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets our notability guidelines. Bruxton (talk) 22:05, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
