I would say that most articles about Hollywood stars have been written, but for example we have no articles on many B stars even if IMDb shows they had 20 or more items credited.
In addition, we have few articles on movies. Sure we have the blockbusters, but when you think that Hollywood puts out something like a hundred movies a year (or more) we have only scratched the surface. One hundred times 100 years of output.
On the nobility front, I constantly encounter gaps in our lists of "Lord of such-and-such" (a place or title or designation). This is more true for the oldest parts of lines. With a name like Yaroslav, I'm sure you see a lot of gaps in the details of the Kievan and Polish rulers from a thousand years ago.
On biography, comparing the DNB with what we have, there are plenty of gaps. And that was just the more comprehensive biography of English-language people, without mentioning much on the rest of the world. And mostly focused on the British at that.
So that's just a few areas that need improvement if we're trying to be comprehensive and not just current.
