Proposal of speedy deletion[edit]

I had hardly begun writing this article, when someone proposed to delete it. A little patience, please! This is an authentic subject (which I've now linked to its pl counterpart). I will provide more text that will substantiate this.

In the meantime, I would appreciate the speedy deletion of the "speedy-deletion" notice. Nihil novi (talk) 06:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, two year old Polish Wiki article suggests notability. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Burial place[edit]

Potocka is buried at Paris's Montmorency Cemetery

Is this a typo for Montmartre Cemetery? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 21:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Polish Wikipedia article says "Montmorency Cemetery in Paris" ("Cmentarz Montmorency w Paryżu"), but it could be an error. Nihil novi (talk) 01:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was that cited in the Polish article? We shouldn't be using any other WP article as a source, regardless of the language. But we can certainly borrow citations. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 02:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No source is given. But there is a category for persons interred at "Montmorency Cemetery." Nihil novi (talk) 04:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Categories are sourced from articles themselves; an entry in a category doesn't serve as any kind of independent evidence of her burial there. Btw, I'm not making a big thing about this. I have no reason to disbelieve it, and there is such a place as Montmorency Cemetery, a favourite resting place for Parisian Poles, it seems. Just wanting to see proper procedure observed. Cheers. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 04:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
