Overall: 
Good article. Checked sources, all accessible, no further concerns. I found some sources that might help. Book here mentioned that he was born on 3 December, so probably you might do a little bit of math. Also, I have done a bit of copyediting for the article.

- The book has no relations to his birth date; it refers to the publication date of this instead. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 16:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
