To be more precise: about 2.8M Wikidata items are biographical in nature and of these about 800.000 carry at least one VIAF identifier. Given the amount of politicians, actors, chess and soccer players and other celebrities covered this could come close to saturation. On the other hand VIAF is actively ingesting wikidata and currently records about 1.000.000 wikidata items (counting multiples in one cluster). > Where we can link them up, though, WP Infoboxes/WikiData can provide a > lot of usable information.

Since all wikidata "claims" eventually should be "sourced" by references and references in turn can be expressed as wikidata items (being "books", "articles", "works", "editions": naively or FRBRized as you like it), and in that situation must carry links to their authors, publishers, and so on as wikidata items (there are almost no places in Wikidata where you can just dump some textual information): The /Wikidata/ guidelines for notability necessarily include any entity which may be identified in library contexts. viele Gruesse Thomas Berger
