Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: August 25, 1887 (Hvem er Hvem? (1948); BnF authorities) or August 15, 1887 (Integrated Authority File).
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.
