I am not convinced that this is useful (yet). I have been generating some red-link lists for the upcoming international edit-a-thon about Art & Feminism on February 1st, and I tried out this tool to see if I could come with with lists of women artists already in other projects. With Reasonator I see 503 female persons and 760 male persons. Not very helpful (yet) for generating red-link lists.
