Wikidata feels empty... even data on people is almost non-existing.

The Italian Wikipedia has the most complete persondata dataset in Wikimedia world, ready for import. Legoktm's bot was almost ready to parse the {{bio}} template, some code tweaking will be needed. No takers, really? This is very low hanging fruit for bots.

the german wikipedia has persondata for over 525.000 persons, the raw data could be found as csv at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/persondata/data/pd_dump.txt

The german dates have to be parsed, and I think the uncertainty for many persons is the main problem ("born 5th of July 1716 or 15th of July 1718", "between 1918 and 1921"). But of course for a lot of persons there are accurate information, which could be imported to Wikidata.

Greets,
Christian / APPER
