As for the Faroer Islands (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4628) I see some contradicting information there.The labels refer to an archipelago, while the "is a" statement refers to an administrative part of Denmark.
When an item has only 1 "is a" statement, it is not possible to refer to 2 different concepts. However, it is possible to have to "is a" statements on an item. m.
