Warning no longer warranted

The warning for this page is no longer warranted. New information has been added that establishes both biographical and historical notability. I propose that the warning be removed.

Biographical notability

Jerzy Czarnecki was granted an honorary citizenship by the council of Velyki Mosty. The certificate is available on page 166 of his book, along with an English translation on page 167. I quote: "The City Council of Velyki Mosty, ..., has awarded the title "Honorary Citizen of Veliki Mosty" to Dr. Jerzy Czarnecki (Isaac Steeger), Swiss citizen, to the former citizen of Veliki Mosty for his notable contribution to preserving the historical heritage of the town Veliky Mosty, for propagation of the idea of strengthening and extending the relations between the local population and the world Jewish communities in the professional and scientific fields, resulting in the increased knowledge and propagation of the town of Veliki Mosty outside of Ukraine, for his outstanding work for the community, town, and its citizens." (signed by the Mayor on behalf of six council members).

As far as I can see, Jerzy Czarnecki is the only person listed under "Persönlichkeiten" at the Veliki Mosty page who was granted this honor. There are pages for all the other persons. The current page removes an inconsistency. Moreover, Jerzy Czarnecki's notability compares favorably to the notability of at least some of the other persons listed there.

Jerzy Czarnecki is the subject of a book chapter, the subject of a movie, and featured in numerous articles and reports. Some of this information has become available since the first publication of the page.

Historical notability

Jerzy Czarnecki's historical notability is explicitly mentioned in the citation above. His actions have been transformative. Evidence for this has been established with the additional links now available at the page. His book is an important document of the courage displayed by several Polish families in saving his and the lives of other Jewish persons.
