Identity: the queue line's bearer is the PLO founder-chairman of 1908–1980, distinguished from his father As'ad (Q4802825, built in wave 134). The child_of edge to person/asad-al-shuqairi is written here, in the son's record, exactly as the father's provenance directs: the English biography and the Arabic biography both name As'ad as his father, and Wikidata's father statement names Q4802825. Existence checks by name fragments (shuqairi, shukeiri, shuk) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record for this man; his daughter-in-law generation and his books are not relations, and Tibnin and Tulkarm have no place entities on main.",
