This is a messy stub that hijacks its interwiki. Korczak ran two notable orphanages (Nasz Dom, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11789892, and Dom Sierot, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6431490). The article nominated here (Korczak's orhpanages) is incorrectly linked to Q6431490 (all other wikis in it are about Dom Sierot specifically); it also doesn't make obvious the concept of "Korczak's orhpanages", combined, has stand-alone notability (I see some passing mentions in my BEFORE, but no clear SIGCOV). The current article has just one (non-English) reference and is a stub; I suggest deleting it as it also seems to contain many errors. For example, it gives dates for its two orphanages, unnamed, as 1911-1942 and 1918-1940. The dedicated Wiki articles have different dates (1912-1944) and 1919-1946, reactivated in 1991). If our underreferneced stub cannot even get basic facts straight (such as names and dates), dubious notatability aside, WP:TNT is needed. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:24, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete / redirect to Janusz Korczak and hopefully articles about the orphanages can be written separately. I dont see a point to have a joint article that is a stub about both of them, conflating the two. In his bio (Lewowicki, Tadeusz. "Janusz Korczak." Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (2000).), there is only a mention of the "Krochmalna Street orphanage." for which land was purchased 1910 but not much more information. --hroest 20:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
