What did Family Search add this person? LF9P-YKS
I noticed that LF9P-YKS has been added by Family Search with no sources. I don't believe he existed. I've found no evidence. Where did they draw their information from?

FYI
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
You must be somewhat NEW, to "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch' ...
Regarding, Isaac KYLE Jr. ( LF9P-YKS ) ...
This individual/person, was NOT "Created" (ie. "Added"), by 'FamilySearch'.
This individual/person, was "Created", by a User/Patron, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', on 6 August 2014.
Now ...
That Said ...
I am somewhat confused ...
In fact, from the Contact Name, of the User/Patron (ie. delstuartkeith1), it appears to have been YOU, yourself
So ...
That Said ...
The 'Question' is: Where did YOU draw YOUR information from?
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

I can't see any evidence that there has been any additional information added since 2014. As you know, a person's name against a vital event does not mean they have added that detail themselves - my "credits" for inputs are being taken away by other users all the time! So I don't know why you are suggesting delstuartkeith1 has been a direct contributor to this ID.

You are correct, in one aspect ...
Nothing, has been added, since 2014.
And ...
That Said ...
The "Record" indicates, that the individual/person, WAS "Created", in "Family Tree"; and, not its predecessor.
Respectfully, I have to disagree ...
A User's/Person's "Contact Name", DOES, in fact, indicate, that such record, WAS created either,
(1) by the User/Patron themselves, in their own right; OR,
(2) by a ANOTHER User/Patron ACTING on THEIR behalf; as, a HELPER; OR,
(3) by 'FamilySearch', on behalf, of the User/Patron.
The "Record" CLEARLY indicates, that such, WAS "Created", by the User/Patron, with the "Contact Name", of delstuartkeith1.

ChangeLog
And, there is NO indication of any "Merge"/"Combine".

2014 is too late to be an import from another system but FamilySearch only very rarely will actually add a person to Family Tree. As I understand it, they would only do so for administrative reasons. This makes me wonder if this person could have been created when a user requested a pre-2012 merge be undone. If that was the case, FamilySearch would have nothing to go on other than the existing data which most of the time in the older systems would not have any source information.
In other words, they had nothing other than what you see here and were simply restoring what had been entered long ago by someone else.
Feel free to take care of this record as you see fit.

Yes, it does seems strange the name delstuartkeith1 appears on the same day as "FamilySearch" is recorded as the contributor in the change log. The point I made relates to the fact that a regular contributor to IDs on which I have inputted data now has his name against many of my entries. I know nothing has been changed, because they (the inputs) still read exactly as I entered them (reason statements included), so I have always been confused as to how my name has been replaced by his, apparently just by him opening the entry (clicking on "Edit") then clicking on "Save".
As I write, I just managed to change an input (burial) to my username without making any change at all. However, I must admit this action has been registered in the change log, unlike the case we are looking at here. No - still can't work it out, so have to accept the poster's comments that he has not actually made these vitals inputs himself, but (like me) managed to get the inputter's details changed from "FamilySearch" to "delstuartkeith1".

The poster, of this post, 'delstuartkeith1', DID NOT indicate, in their original post, whether they did or did not, "Create" the individual/person in question.
You appear, to have assumed/surmised such, from the 'nature' of the original post.
There is NO case here, the way the, "ChangeLog"; and, "Person/Details" page/screen, appears, is NORMAL, for BACK then, in the 'Transition' period, from "New.FamilySearch'", to "Family Tree", which actually went from 2012 right through to 2015 - and, they were, working in "Tandem", for some of that time.
ie.
▬ the "ChangeLog" indicates 'FamilySearch'; but,
▬ in fact, the ACTUAL "Person/Details" page/screen indicates the (actual) User/Patron, themselves.
