comprobadasreliable

Comprobadasreliable is a label used in information verification to indicate that a source or claim has been independently verified and deemed reliable by applying specific criteria. The term blends the Spanish word comprobadas (proved or verified) with the English word reliable, reflecting multilingual usage in fact-checking and media literacy discussions.

Origin and usage notes indicate that the phrase has appeared in online discussions, educational materials, and some fact-checking guidelines since the early 2020s. It is not tied to a single formal authority; rather, various organizations and platforms adopt their own criteria for applying the label, leading to diverse implementations across contexts and regions.

Criteria and application commonly involve cross-checking claims against primary or official sources, seeking independent corroboration, and evaluating context, timeliness, and relevance. Some adopters publish transparent methodologies or source lists to accompany the label, while others rely on editorial judgment. Because criteria can vary, the label is typically interpreted as a signal of increased scrutiny rather than a definitive standard of truth.

Limitations and critiques focus on potential ambiguity and inconsistent usage. Critics argue that without uniform standards, the comprobadasreliable tag may mislead audiences or create false impressions of uniform credibility. Proponents, by contrast, view it as a useful shorthand to denote that a claim has undergone additional verification, while encouraging readers to consider methodology and sources.
