1) the name of the object may not be unique hence we may be unable to
satisfy Wikidata requirements on label/description uniqueness,
Wikidata does not require unique names.
If so, please fix the docs. "Uniqueness for a combination of a label and
a description is a hard constraint that must be satisfied before a
change can be saved." https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary
3) it must be fine to create items that contain no information other than
the name;
No, this is not OK (and they may be deleted); but nor is it necessary.
How so? We often don't know more than the name-
4) it must be as easy to add coordinates to multiple items as it is with an
on-wiki table;
Why?
Because that's the process used to add coordinates.
6) it must be easy to publish new groups of items on the go, because the
list is built gradually (and very slowly) as we get new authorisations;
It is.
Needs to be verified with those who maintain the list (i.e. Cristian
Cenci and WMIT secretariat).
This is, I believe, possible. For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Wikidata_lists/Items_with_ORCIDs
is built by a bot.
That's a very trivial query, on WDQ just claim[496]. The query I
described is way more complex.
