Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Waluscha De Sousa”, the useful work is to connect “indian actress” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q23712682. VIAF identifies the subject as 50147662833460550444. The Library of Congress control number is no2016129895. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981 and 2016.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
