The linked authority identifier is Q125933176. VIAF identifies the subject as 310623341. The Library of Congress control number is no2014107372.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
