Don't use Q19798647 The item is just a description of the concept ! on Wikidata, there is a way to set an unknow value to a claim.
here is how to set this special value on a claim in the UI, in french : to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_pas_de_valeur.png
You must click to the little blue icon on the left of the label.

So the intention is to use Q19798647 as a random place holder specifically for Wikibase entities without a value, but not as a "no value" placeholder for a person? I think it is useful in the way you describe it, but I am curious how you would model the source B saying that "X had no child"

Hoi, Sorry for being dense.. What is wrong with there being no value ?
Having a
"no value" is imho understanding only a complication of saying
nothing...
Why not say nothing in the first place ?
It is important for cases like the following for example: Source A says "X had a child" and source B says "X had no child".
Cheers Lydia
