Hoi, It is a matter of perspective. From my perspective a value exists or not. Depending on that I may want to process. When you state novalue there is a value of novalue and that is not the same as there not being a value in the first place. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, I regularly query for for instance claim[31] ie any instance of whatever... I would also query for the existence of a date of death in a similar way. for me a claim with a "whatever it is that says that there is no value" would be a positive result and I would not consider it for any processing.
Not sure what you are trying to say here. Do you think there is a problem in how Wikidata Query is treating novalue? I am sure this can be fixed if it is the case. But I am not the right person to answer this.
