Hoi,
When a position is taken that is manifestly wrong, it is worse to desist. Andy I like you too but calling someone a dick because he does not agree with you and calls bullshit on the points taken, the examples supplied is not in the best tradition of our projects.
Wikidata is NOT there to serve the English Wikipedia at the expense of its own integrity. A wish has been formulated to support redirects by WIkipedians while Wikidata has been EXPLICITLY designed NOT to support redirects but more importantly parts of articles.
If a project does not have or want to have an article on a given subject, Wikidata can provide information when used in combination with the Reasonator.
Articles are about a subject and CONSEQUENTLY they should have categories and info boxes that are in line with the subject of the article. The ARTICLE
2014 ISIL beheading incidents for instance is NOT about a human and it should NOT have a category "deaths in 2014" or any other information that is particular to one person. The same is true for "Death of Alice Gross"; it is NOT about Alice Gross. When an article is just text and nobody cares about such consistencies, fine. However, you want articles like this linked and someone else is to clean up such mess. This prevents automated processes, it is bad practice and it is part of the same practice/school of thought whereby we are to have redirects ... Hell no!
Please reconsider your arguments and please do not be a dick yourself..
Thanks,
GerardM
