Notability of Targowski edit

This article reads like it intents to immortalise the subject and seems to be a bit over the top. Overly long, mostly written by a single individual and including plenty of prose ("Health care"). How notable is Targowski? —Agentbla (talk) 21:35, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

He is known primarily at his own school and in a small circle surrounding the International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations founded by Arnold Toynbee back in the 1960s of which he was president - outside of that context, it is difficult to find reference to him online, but perhaps someone else might have more information. Judging by the looks of things, it is tempting to say he wrote much of the article himself. 136.242.248.95 (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Re "mostly written by a single individual", you are aware the article started as a translation of a Polish article? Anyway, I don't know the measures of notability Wikipedia uses, but statistically guessing, notability may be high due to how few articles about computer science professors born before 1950 there are compared to with born after 1950. Just statistically he has a high chance of being "the first that" or "the longest at" or at least "among the first 50" in many aspects. Mikon (talk) 23:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
