The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1900, 1972, 1925, 1930—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1900-02-07. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Paul, Bonét-Maury and French providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Paul Bonét-Maury”, the useful work is to connect “french judoka (1900-1972)” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3370691. VIAF identifies the subject as 165326131. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1900, 1972, 1925 and 1930.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
