Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Goblin (single album)”, the useful work is to connect “2019 single album by Sulli” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131375089. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2009, 2014 and 2015.

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.
