Wikidata feels empty... even data on people is almost
non-existing.
The Italian Wikipedia has the most complete persondata dataset in
Wikimedia world, ready for import. Legoktm's bot was almost ready to
parse the {{bio}} template, some code tweaking will be needed. No
takers, really? This is very low hanging fruit for bots.
the german wikipedia has persondata for over 525.000 persons, the raw data
could be found as csv at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/persondata/data/pd_dump.txt
The german dates have to be parsed, and I think the uncertainty for many
persons is the main problem ("born 5th of July 1716 or 15th of July 1718",
"between 1918 and 1921"). But of course for a lot of persons there are
accurate information, which could be imported to Wikidata.
