Hi everyone,

As a data quality addict, I've been investigating the coverage of external identifiers linked to Wikidata items about people.

Given the numbers on SQID [1] and some SPARQL queries [2, 3], it seems that even the second most used ID (VIAF) only covers *25%* of people items circa.
Then, there is a long tail of IDs that are barely used at all.

So here is my question:
*which external identifiers deserve an effort to achieve exhaustive coverage?*
I've been doing this for painters. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings/Creator_no_authority_control and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings/Creator_missing_collection_authority_control .
