I do agree with that notion, to a large degree. It is probably more important to give at least some statements to items with associated Wikipedia articles, that to delete empty items that, by their very definition, are not in the way of anything.
If an item has no statements, no sitelinks, and isn't used anywhere, how do you tell what it even *is*? The label only? Is that sufficient and/or useful? What would be lost by deleting it? Maybe, if it has labels in many languages, with good descriptions, that gives enoug info for identifying the tiem, and it is useful to keep it. But "James Herrod" / "Person", with no extra info... what use is it?
