Birth dates and locations tend to be fairly structured within articles
so are fairly easy to get. Dealing with a term as vauge as celebrity
make the task impossible even with human intervention.

What about movie stars ? That's not quite as vague. Can we do that today
without human intervention? People who have been in a film? Or is that too
vague

Of course the whole reason you'd want to put a reference to Vienna
into the article on Vienne is that it's a French name, and if you
