This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hassan Muhammad Makki” as yemeni politician (1933–2016). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as yemeni politician (1933–2016). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15197815. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1933, 2016, 1974 and 1963.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
