Why this record matters
“Peter Kihlgård” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Peter, Kihlgård and Swedish provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5908684. VIAF identifies the subject as 56645094. The Library of Congress control number is n93026441. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1954, 1988, 1992 and 1996.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
