Action: I will state the information provided by the sources. Since there is a discrepancy in birth year, I will present the facts available. However, standard archival practice usually picks one or notes the discrepancy. Since I must write "verifiable facts that are explicitly supported," and they contradict, I will use the most specific details or present them as they appear. Actually, I'll stick to the name and the career details.
