Identity is grounded on the full name (Muhammad al-Hasan ibn al-Dedew al-Shanqiti), the birth on 31 October 1963 at Boutilimit and the scholar biography, matching the queue line 'Al-Hassan Al-Daddow — 1963–Living', whose spelling renders الددو. Existence was checked by filename fragments (dedew, daddow, al-dedew, diddu), by Arabic label and by QID across data/person/ before writing: no record existed under any spelling. His grandfather and first tutor, Muhammad Ali ibn Abd al-Wadud, has no museum record, and Boutilimit and Nouakchott have no place entities yet, so no relations are written.",
