Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lassiter”, the useful work is to connect “wikimedia disambiguation page” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q16361058. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1979, 1928 and 1945.
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.
