The linked authority identifier is Q3026181. VIAF identifies the subject as 87923932.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it.

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