WP:PROF? No google scholar profile, so I have trouble calculating his index... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:38, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply

Citation rates are not everything, and Google Scholar does not have a lot of historical data. As you can see from the publications, he published quite a bit. Since he appears as a minor figure in the movie "Hidden Figures" I find it important that there is an entry about him that includes his publications. --WiseWoman (talk) 19:55, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, having published is not necessarily a sign of notability either. We need evidence that those publications were noted. Normally we do that using citation rates, but as I said above, low citation rates don't necessarily mean a lack of notability for older cases like this. Unfortunately, low citation rates are not evidence for notability either, of course. So at this point we don't have much evidence either way. Whether the appearance in the movie is enough to establish notability I have no real opinion about (although if it is "minor", I doubt it). --Randykitty (talk) 20:01, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this page should be reviewed. It states "born 1916 Poland" and "immigrated to the United States in an unknown year" when in fact Kazimierz Roman Czarnecki was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts on Feb 28, 1915 to parents who had immigrated separately from Poland and married in the United States. Public records that support this include his birth record, census records, World War II draft card, and marriage certificate. Mikeloader (talk) 03:54, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Mikeloader:, what you said sounds interesting, and should be included in the article if it's true. Is there any chance that you could link here or in the article itself the documents that you had mentioned above? Thank you in advance.
