Hi Mike,

It looks like there are indeed several projects that still seem to use
isBlank()
I used search to try to poke around and see what might still be using
"isBlank()"

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=%22isBlank%22&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns4=1

Like this one that I've just updated:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings/Top_female_creators_by_number_of_collections

Perhaps there could be a way to send notices to those projects?
