We have also other properties on Wikidata to refine partial knowledge about
the chronology of a life :
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1317 – floruit
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2032 /
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2031 — floruit begin and end
that may overlap with https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1319
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1326

I found myself sometimes using a century precision date for somebody we
don’t really have information about the date of death but know it lived on
some century.
