Why
This event is likely a duplicate of held event 245; see merge_proposal.
Reasoning
The announcing lecture's delivery date is certain at 1964-12-11 (Friday); 'next Tuesday' from a Friday is unambiguous arithmetic landing on 1964-12-15, matching two prior npr rows (23602, 59769) that already computed this same date and identified held event 245/node 1179 as the actual final lecture.

Source
derived from the event's own title: "Close of Neville's December 1964 lecture series"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1964-12 (month precision, parsed as "month year"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.
