> Since there is already an English description, we wouldn’t store nor actually generate the text
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:

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.
