[WikiEN-l] People who died in 2014
Hoi, I am working towards the point where all the people who died in 2014 are known as such in Wikidata. At this time all the people of the en,wp who are in the category 2014 deaths are included. At this time there are over 2900 people known in Wikidata as to have died in 2014 [1]. It uses the AutoList tool by Magnus Manske. Amir Ladsgroup wrote a routine that checks against the en,wp and adds missing deaths to Wikidata. He will also compare the values known to Wikidata with what is known at Wikipedia and report it [2] In this way there is the opportunity to improve quality in both Wikipedia and Wikidata. That is one objective. If you can come up with more things we can do in a similar way, please consider this.. the technology to report on differences between a Wikipedia and Wikidata is starting to become a reality. At this time the job of Amir has run a few times.. What is needed is better integration with practices on the English Wikipedia and a proper place for this report. Obviously this report can be run against any Wikipedia that has a category for the deaths of 2014. It will take some modifications though.

Doing this for 2014 only creates recentism bias (or has it already been done for all previous years?) Also, the presence of Wikidata does not necessarily indicate notability for Wikipedia.

Re: [WikiEN-l] People who died in 2014
Well, aside from that Few of the death dates are sourced on either site, and a couple of the Enwiki articles actually have two different death dates, one in the infobox and one in the text. A few other enwiki articles give a death date but haven't had their categories changed. I'd suggest that the list is useful for cleanup, but not for transfer of information one way or the other.
