Born in Xàbia, Province of Alicante, Valencian Community, Ortolá joined local Villarreal CF's youth system in 2008. He made his senior debut with the B team in Segunda División B, his first game in the competition being a 3–0 away loss against CF Reus Deportiu on 2 September 2012.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Adrián Ortolá” as spanish association football player. 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—1993, 2008, 2012, 2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1993-08-20. The account is most persuasive where Adrián, Ortolá and Spanish can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

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

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2825328. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2008, 2012 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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
