Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Odile Duboc” as french choreographer (1941–2010). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

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—1941, 2010, 1990, 2008—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1941-07-23. The account is most persuasive where Odile, Duboc and French can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french choreographer (1941–2010). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3349234. VIAF identifies the subject as 46818012. The Library of Congress control number is n97839965. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1941, 2010, 1990 and 2008.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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

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.
