Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 14, 1904 (Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Great Russian Encyclopedia; BnF authorities; Kritisches Lexikon zur fremdsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur; Find a Grave; IMDb) or in 1904 (data.bibliotheken.nl) or November 21, 1903 (filmportal.de; Integrated Authority File; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; The Fine Art Archive Db).

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.
