Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Deception (Ugandan TV series)”, the useful work is to connect “television series” 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 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28443636. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2016, 2014 and 2015.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. 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.
