Source-derived summary

Józef Tejchma (14 July 1927 – 13 December 2021) was a Polish communist politician. A member of the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), he served in the Sejm from 1957 to 1980 and was Deputy Prime Minister from 1972 to 1980.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Józef Tejchma” as polish politician. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1927, 2021, 1957, 1980—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1927-07-14. The account is most persuasive where Józef, Tejchma and Polish can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as polish politician. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11731514. VIAF identifies the subject as 54950175. The Library of Congress control number is n85260599. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1927, 2021, 1957 and 1980.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
