I think the key issue here is findability, as Yaroslav pointed out. If the incoming links should be there but are not (yet) there, then deletion is probably best, since anyone needing those items will probably create a double anyway, as the item's findability is zero.

In such a case, they would either have a statement stating the award/position,
or have incoming, because they are used on statements on other items, e.g. as
the father or child.

If they have no statements, and are not used in statements, I do not see how
they could be structurally significant.
