[WikiEN-l] Biography stub dump, anyone?

At http://world.std.com/obi/Biographical/
there's a copyleft list of 15,000 biography stubs (one-liners). It goes 
like this:

Abbot, Charles Greeley (C. G. Abbot)  US astrophysicist; secy. of 
Smithsonian Institution 1928-1944 _1872-1973

I think we all agree to use that resource. But how?

1. As one (or multiple) long lists, with links to the appropriate 
article, so we can manually paste the stub into the article
2. As automatically generated stub for each non-existing article

#1 would not require much work, #2 would need one of the wiki-bots.

Thoughts? (I hope so;-)
