Description

while statistically, these might be reasonable suggestions for an item about a person, this really doesn't seem appropriate to me.

this is on Obama's item, for example, when adding a new property:

btw, the yellow background is just my user css so I know when I am logged in with my non-staff account (and not on my development wiki).

Opinions? :)

Lydia_Pintscher moved this task from incoming to needs discussion or investigation on the Wikidata board.

It could be. But place of death should show up when death date exists, vice versa.

Bugreporter added a project: MediaWiki-extensions-PropertySuggester.

A few items (such as Q76) might be so complete that the only new statement that could reasonably be added is P570.

I also mentioned this behavior and always find it really strange when getting such suggestions.
