Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Rajasthan-born Pakistani folk singer (c. 1947–2013) — not Reshma of Kashmir, the Tamil or Malayalam actresses of the same mononym, or any other Reshma. Existence checks by name fragments (reshma) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record. The queue's years (1947–2013) are confirmed, the birth at year precision only, with the Urdu biography's 1946 variant preserved in the birth note. Relations written: died_in Lahore only — Loha and Karachi have no place entities, and her shrine discovery and repertoire are never relations.",
