Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Afansie Butelchin”, the useful work is to connect “romanian canoeist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4688800. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1936, 2007 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
