The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1908, 1985—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1908-03-28.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french diplomat (1908-1985). 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 Jul 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q431623. VIAF identifies the subject as 208221702. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1908 and 1985.

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.
