The linked authority identifier is Q864153. VIAF identifies the subject as 41146824595607630639.

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
