Hoi,
How about people who have received an award and complete the list of people who
were awarded ? How about people who had a position and complete the list of
people who held that position ? How about people who are parents between a
famous grandfather and a famous grandchild ...
In such a case, they would either have a statement stating the award/position,
or have incoming, because they are used on statements on other items, e.g. as
the father or child.
If they have no statements, and are not used in statements, I do not see how
they could be structurally significant.
Interesting example. Just having an award (but no incoming statements or
sitelinks) might not be enough. It would just tell us "somebody received
the award". We need some statements/sitelinks/descriptions that tell us
who exactly that person was.
Jane proposed a good benchmark question: do we have enough information
about the item to detect and merge duplicates more or less
automatically? Items where this is not the case should receive special
attention -- and be either stabilised or deleted eventually. For persons
(P31:Q5), the name (label) can go a long way to identify items. Awards
are probably too weak to integrate information over (even specific
things like "the 1981 Nobel prize in Chemistry" might not have a unique
award winner; and the absence of a Nobel prize will not be noticed as an
incompleteness for a person, so an item about the same person that
misses the award statement will not be detected as duplicate).
