Source-derived summary

A-16 Muranów is a planned Warsaw Metro station in the Muranów neighbourhood (crossroads of Anielewicza and Andersa streets), 635 metres north of A-15 Ratusz Arsenał and 899 metres south of A-17 Dworzec Gdański.

The original plans for the construction were temporarily dropped in 1989 due to budget constraints. In September 2019, the Warsaw city council announced that the project would finally take place. A contractor was decided, having until 2026 to build the station.

Editorial summary

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1989, 2019, 2026—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Muranów, metro and station is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “metro station in Warsaw, Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 26, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q638876. Authority coordinates are 52.250, 20.999. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2019 and 2026.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
