The public source identifies “Cheikhei” as 2015 film. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Cheikhei and film.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cheikhei”, the useful work is to connect “2015 film” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21999994. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015 and 2016.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. 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.
