Probably different person from Czesław Lewicki (composer)

See Talk:Czesław_Lewicki_(composer)#Righteous_who_saved_Szpilman?. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:22, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

after finding a new source, I concluded that they are one and the same person. There is no contradictory information anymore and some good amount of overlap. Also discussed on pl wiki. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:08, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

... that Czesław Lewicki, Polish composer and conductor, received the Righteous Among the Nations for aiding the Polish-Jewish composer Władysław Szpilman? Source: https://righteous.yadvashem.org/?searchType=righteous_only&language=en&itemId=4016116&ind=1
- ALT1: ... that Czesław Lewicki, Polish composer and conductor, was one of about 30 non-Jewish Poles who helped shelter the Polish-Jewish composer Władysław Szpilman during The Holocaust?

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 12:05, 5 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Czesław Lewicki (Righteous); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Overall, @Piotrus:, nice work on the article! Length, hook, sources, QPQ, no copyvios all check out. I prefer ALT1 over the original. However, there seems to be a Talk page message which suggests that this article may be a duplicate. Have you found more information confirming those two Czesław Lewickis are the same/different people? [1]#prodraxis ^connect 22:19, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Prodraxis, Hold that thought. I asked for help on pl wiki, we found another source that states he worked in Polish Radio before and after the war. Coupled with approximate date of death in the interview with his daughter ("quarter of century ago", interview was in 2002), I think it is almost certain this is the same person. I'll be integrating the articles shortly and I'll ping you when I do so on en wiki, hopefully witin a few days at most. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:31, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Prodraxis After reviewing the new source, I've merged the articles. The new source found is about the composer, but it states he worked in Polish Radio before and after the war. That fact connects all biographies together. Lack of information about his wartime history is explained in the interview with his daughter (commmunist Poland discrmianted against Home Army members, so he wanted to keep that part of his life under wraps, so he did not advertise it in his biographical sketches). His daughter interview also gives a very smimilar estimate of his death, as I mentioned above. I think it is extremly unlikely we are dealing with two people, with similar names, careers and date of death (but only one would be mentioned in biographical sources for Polish composers/musicians). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Piotrus: Got it. In that case, accept. #prodraxis ^connect 02:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
