Sounds like another one of your brilliant ideas, Magnus. If you built it, I would definitely use it. I would also be happy with a description=name solution - anything is better than the blank fields I see now.

I believe that, for items that have basic claims/statements, short descriptions can be generated automatically, for supported languages. If we have "person", "Belgian", "painter", and birth/death year, a sentence like "Belgian painter (1900-2000)" can be constructed. Some awards (Nobel prize, Victoria cross, etc.) could be added.
+1 on the idea. Not sure about the birth/death year, though.
