Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1911, 1977, 1936—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1911-07-23. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Raúl, Chappell and Peruvian providing the first useful test.

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Raúl Chappell”, the useful work is to connect “peruvian footballer (1911-1977)” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7299751. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1977 and 1936.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
