Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “John Durbin”, the useful work is to connect “american actor” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q16204686. VIAF identifies the subject as 303172800. The Library of Congress control number is no2005083433. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2001 and 2000.
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.
