That's a funy question, which rise many questions in me. For example,
in our current guideline, we are not interested in "anonymous" people
who didn't reached some notability. But wouldn't you find interesting if
wikidata could help us making statistics on wide population ?
With the current set of people, I may for example compute the evolution
over time of the copyright median duration in a specific region. For
example, in France the duration was something like 20 years after the
first publication of the work. Then it jumped to 50 years after the
authors death (Berne Covention), then 70 years after authors death. So,
having a large set of authors may help to compute the authors median
lifetime, and so copyright duration. A more useful idea would be to
automaticaly generate a list of public domain works by region and to
turn it into a todo list of "works that should be provided on
wikisource/commons".
On the other hand, our data being restricted to famous people, we
wouldn't be able to compute the evolution of median lifetime in a
specific region, regardless of notability. I mean, our notability policy
prevent us to provide "the sum of all knowledge". Now, I don't say we
should change that and begin to collect personnal information on every
one (although I heard that NSA could help us to fill our database in
this way ;P ), it's just some thought I wanted to share.

hi all,
I want to know the number of pages which describe human beings
included in wikipedia. I only find the living people number in "pages
in category: living people".
Thanks.
