If there is already an English description and an abstract description is created, should we delete the English description to replace it with the description generated (and maybe cached) from abstract?
@Julio974: This is ultimately up to the Wikidata community to decide, as it is about the content stored on that wiki. I don't know if we'd ever want to *automatically* replace an existing manual description (probably not?), but I imagine it would be good to create a workflow for local language experts to check whether the new Abstract Description was an improvement on any existing manual or bot-generated Description. As the original email said, one of the proposed goals is:
"It must be possible to overwrite a[n abstract] description for a given
language" Human control is key.
@Peter: This idea is just about the Descriptions stored in the Wikidata project itself. What happens beyond that, is beyond the scope of this.
