Source-derived summary

Grant Jordan (born 18 March 1965) is an Australian former cricketer. He played three first-class cricket matches for Victoria between 1985 and 1987.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Grant Jordan” as cricketer. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Grant, Jordan and cricketer.

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—1965, 1985, 1987—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1965-03-18. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Grant, Jordan and cricketer providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Grant Jordan”, the useful work is to connect “cricketer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q22005695. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 1985 and 1987.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
