This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Stefan Stankalla” as german alpine skier. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as german alpine skier. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 6, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q114190. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1979, 1993, 1994 and 1996.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
