The Wikipedia chronology dates Neville's meeting with his teacher Abdullah, a turbaned Black man of Jewish descent, to 1931, with the pair working together for five years.
Adjudication: Neville himself gave conflicting years (1929, 1930, 1931) across different lectures, which the source material itself flags as inconsistent - this is a genuine, unresolved contradiction in the primary testimony. The Wikipedia chronology's 1931 dating (with a five-year study period matching the commonly cited 1931-1936 span) is the best-corroborated single value, but given Neville's own inconsistency this needs a human historian's judgment rather than a confident algorithmic pick.
