Possibly the same person — not joined
These records are shown against this person but are not part of it: their works are not counted or listed on this page. The model scored them as possibly this person, and they may belong to someone else. A record with no IPI name number is not joined on the model’s score alone. How a pair is held for a person.
A name here links to a lookup of that name, which finds every record registered under it, decides afresh and may show them joined; this page shows only what the ID records.
