Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1966, 2006, 2008, 2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1966-10-16. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Olof, Lundh and Swedish providing the first useful test.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
