Hoi,
Sorry to state the obvious (for me) .. We datamine Wikipedias for
statements in Wikipedia. Consequently much information that could be /
should be in an article (in any and all languages) is reflected by
Wikidata. There is much that is not found in every language and information
on some subjects can easily be provided from Wikidata as a list (think
awards, books published etc). The good news is that Wikidata will provide
lists for this purpose. For all other topics like date of death / birth and
place of death / birth where people studied etc you have the benefit of
existing articles in a Wikipedia and the work done at Wikidata.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
GerardM
