[edit] "Polish-American"

I am not entirely comfortable with identifying her as "Polish American" in the first sentence. She is famous for her work as an industrial chemist; of what conceivable relevance is the country where her parents (or grandparents, or great-grandparents) were born? Uucp 17:34, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

My thought is that if someone wanted to bother, they could research whether she has any known identification with Poland in the familial/ethnic sense, and go from there as to whether to note her family's origin in Poland. --P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 19:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Per WP:MOSBIO trying to use only American for true Americans. Ethnicity should be discussed further into article unless it is specifically what makes them notable. --Tom 14:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
