Keep. It is true that
all those killed in the crash were given the order. However, he was appointed Commander of the
Order of Polonia Restituta rather than one of the lower grades, which probably qualifies for
WP:ANYBIO #1, although the lower grades probably don't. We would certainly consider the equivalent grades in the British honours system to meet ANYBIO (and have done so many times). --

Have you considered that maybe these people would have been up for the honour in life anyway, but died before they could receive it? For the lower levels I would agree with you, just "recognition" for dying in a notable incident (a bit weird, in my opinion, but often done in some countries; France tends to hand out the Légion d'honneur for things like this, for instance), but not the higher levels. There's a reason these people were not made a knight or officer, but received a higher honour. And it's not just seniority, as some senior people did receive one of the lower grades. --

The Polish wikipedia article states that he was a chaplain of
Ryszard Kaczorowski, and was honoured by the Pope and received an annual award during his lifetime so am leaning Keep,

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 08:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Weak keep: based on the explanations above and the "award" given to him (I'm not sure that's the correct term). We have enough for a brief article

Weak keep, due to being awarded posthumously with Polonia Restituta and the title of
Chaplain of His Holiness before death.
