Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: December 2, 1946 (RKDartists; ProDetLit; Artists of the World Online; BD Gest'; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Integrated Authority File) or December 2, 1942 (Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
