The linked authority identifier is Q7615273. VIAF identifies the subject as 271473132. The Library of Congress control number is n2012201160. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2025, 2013 and 2023.

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