In August 2015, Fathi signed a 3-year 700,000 EGP contract for Smouha SC coming from Enppi, 4 months later he was loaned to El Dakhleya after the manager Moamen Soliman declared that he doesn't need the player.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Mahmoud Fathi” as association football player. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Mahmoud, Fathi and association.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1988, 2015—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1988-05-07. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Mahmoud, Fathi and association providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Mahmoud Fathi”, the useful work is to connect “association football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q37657827. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1988 and 2015.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
