The queue gloss 'birth year not public' is wrong: the English article gives 1955 and the Arabic article 1374 AH, both with Ha'il as the birthplace. The two articles name different predecessors (the English names Youssef bin Ali Al Idrissi, the Arabic Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud, with the royal decree dated 29 January 2015); the discrepancy is recorded in the English source entity. No record or draft stub for him existed on origin/main when this record was built (checked by name fragments and by QID against origin/main on 2 November 2026).",
