The QID was grounded through the articles' own page properties (all three editions agree on Q310855). Existence checked both directions before writing: name fragments in Latin and Arabic scripts across data/person/, the QID grepped across all of data/person/, biographical comparison, and candidate records' provenance — no prior record of the man existed. The successor_of edge to Ahmed Ben Bella is written because both the English and Arabic infoboxes name Ben Bella as his predecessor as head of state: he took power from Ben Bella on 19 June 1965 as chairman of the Revolutionary Council, the presidency itself being restored only in December 1976, so the edge is scoped to the headship of the state across that office change. No buried_in edge is written: his burial at El Alia Cemetery in Algiers is carried only by an Arabic article category filing, not by any article text.",
