The label and description together establish the identity of the item, whereas the aliases (which is indeed a bad term) are used to facilitate finding the item. No further meaning should be associated with these things.
The label and description are a semantic unit, whereas the aliases are outside of those. Aliases are not just more labels for the entity, or alternative labels. Instead, aliases are meant to help with the search, but not for establishing identity. E.g. 'George Bush' might be a decent alias for Q207, and the description could be 'US president', but it would not be a good label because label+description do not establish identity in that case. The alias is only there because we assume that users might search for 'George Bush', and then can select between the relevant items based on their actual label+description. So, please put the label and description together again. This is also how it works in the entity selector (for good reasons), and this visual unity also sells the concept of the label and description being the identity providers for items.
