@Chris: These ships should be notable on Wikidata according to [1]. We could create items even if there is no WIkipedia article (yet). We should check that all major data can be represented by Wikidata properties first, though.

Very interesting. I have a thought: How does Wikidata work for ships? A British museum has released a dataset based on its own collections and research, in part so it can be used on Wikipedia. However, it might be more useful to use on Wikidata. You can see the information in the dataset in some PDFs here, though it also is available in CSV files;

The English-language article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series) gives five genres for Lost, provided by volunteer editors and moderated by the wider community. Why are we asking humans to re-do that work?
"Archduke Ernest of Austria from Wikidata" links to German and other language articles which have sources; anyone fluent in one or more of those languages and English may make a translation.
Please be aware that Wikidata is a very young project. Sources for example only started working a few weeks ago and the community is still deciding how to make use of them exactly. So while this surely isn't perfect I think you would also not have expected anything else so shortly after Wikipedia has started. This needs a bit more time.
"Archduke Ernest of Austria from Wikidata" is no good starting point for a stub. The information has no reliable sources as required by every Wikipedia project. It provides neither context nor meaning. For techies this doesn’t matter quite ofter, after all a bot could create an article with this data and a lot of Wikidata activists would call it an "article". But there is no editorial content. When does Wikidata finally start to provide reliable data from external sources?
