  1. 1939 stated · probable · preferred
    Source derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1939 lectures at the 48th Street Baptist Church"
    Reasoning The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1939 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ 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.
  2. 1939 stated
    Reasoning Passage 533429 (nid=1216, pos 6): contemplating this back in 1939, I began to dwell upon it — this opens the narrative that runs directly into 533431's Baptist Church description (in my audience in New York City, I spoke at the Baptist Church on 48th Street, three times a week) with no gap stated. A second, independent mention in the same narrative, passage 533433 (pos 10), ties in 1939, a tremendous depression to a woman from my audience at that same church acting on the story — corroborating that the church series itself, not only the originating insight, falls in 1939. Weakest link: connecting the Baptist Church series specifically to the two 1939 statements is a narrative-continuity inference rather than one sentence naming both facts at once, but it is unhedged and doubly supported, with nothing in the packet contradicting it, so the year is read as certain. Year precision only — nothing in the passage narrows this to a month or day. This upgrades the existing title-derived claim (npr:77659, same 1939 value) to a witnessed reading. Per the rule to cite the passage the words are actually read in: the reverse-witness link on this event names passage 533431, which does not itself contain the year, so 533429 is cited instead.

Told / reported
  1. 29 October 1965 estimated
    Reasoning The 1939 Baptist Church story is narrated within lecture node 1216 (Your Creative Power), witnessed via passage 533431 and its neighbours. This lecture's delivery date is well corroborated, not a single unreviewed legacy row: catalog #291 gives 1965-10-29 (legacy_unreviewed) and an independent transcript-embedded chrome dateline (10/29/65, agent_asserted, run v1.1/l2/w1) agrees with it, which the packet records as independent corroboration, hence certain. A separate legacy claim of 1969-09-26 (catalog #591) is formally refuted by L7 adjudication #2363 as a duplicate_row / foreign catalogue entry owned by no transcript; that refuted row was left untouched and the standing 1965-10-29 value used instead. This told claim is additive rather than redundant because the dates claim above (1939) is stated directly in the passage and never uses this lecture's delivery date as its anchor. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/6000-6999-b4, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1216, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
