Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: January 31, 1915 (Find a Grave; Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon; SNAC; lccn.loc.gov; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Integrated Authority File; BnF authorities; AlKindi) or January 15, 1915 (BeWeB).
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.
