Source-derived summary

Fred Perry (1909–1995) was a British tennis player and originator of the clothing line.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fred Perry (disambiguation)” as wikimedia disambiguation page. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1909, 1995—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Fred, Perry and disambiguation can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia disambiguation page. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5496063. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1909 and 1995.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
