If the Wikidata ID can be fetched automatically based on the Wikipedia
tag, can we delete the Wikipedia tags from everything that has Wikidata
afterwards because it is redundant?

Adding problematic data to OSM in order to have it fixed is never a good
idea. It is better to find the problems *first* and add only data that
clears the QA hurdle to OSM. Is this not an option in your case? You
have (personally) added a lot of problematic data in the past that had
to be fixed by others, or maybe hasn't.

But this would have been possible without importing the data first?

I don't understand; you say that you want to add the wikidata tag to OSM
and only afterwards can you find problems like this? Why can you not
avoid adding a wikidata tag that points to a person in the first place
since it is obviously incorrect?

Again, OpenStreetMap is not a workbench for importing and then fixing
non-OSM data (even if it may look convenient). Please build a QA process
based on the un-imported data and import it once you have fixed the
problems.
