Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 27, 1958 (Integrated Authority File; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; SNAC; filmportal.de; Munzinger Personen) or in September 1958 (Companies House) or in 1957 (buchmesse.de) or in 1951 (theguardian.com).
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.
