Re. "Maggie Rogers": the request does not create an item since the input is not formatted correctly. If I throw this exact input to the API using pywikibot's editentity function [1], I get this error message: "WARNING: API error not-recognized-language: The supplied language code was not recognized." No idea whether this wastes a QID. The second item "Edwin M. Post" interestingly mentions "wikidata-todo". This is one of the Magnus tools which sometimes creates plenty of empty items without the user realizing it. We had a couple of incidents in the past months where something of the order of 1000 completely empty items had to be deleted that had been accidentally created by the some tool; IIRC, it was a very old QuickStatements version that is still online. Relator [2] is something else, but it apparently uses parts of the same code in the background.
