Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as film and television award ceremony on June 25, 2015 in Burbank, County of Los Angeles, California, United States of America, honoring the best in science fiction, fantasy and horror film and television in 2014. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19410097. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2015.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.
