The QID was grounded through the Turkish article's page properties and confirmed by entity search. Identity: the queue line's bearer — the Harvard metabolic-disease researcher born 1962 — pinned by biography and QID; the queue's year is confirmed to the day. No relations are written: Pazar, Rize, Boston and Cambridge have no place entities, so his birthplace and Harvard career are carried in the notes and prose. His marriage to Selen Ciliv Hotamisligil is carried in prose; she has no record, so no spouse edge is written.",
