[Developers] Write grammar questions: question 3 -- process for unlinking on the production site

Working at Powerset, I noticed that there are about 350 objects (iirc)
that are connected to type '/people/person'. These all have names that
start as 'List of', for example,

{
  "id" : "/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005505a3c",
  "name" : [
    "List of Byzantine Emperors"
  ],
  "type" : [
    "/people/person"
  ]
}

What is the best process for me to get these unlinked? There are a
couple of aspects of this:

(3a) I can just unlink the id from the type '/people/person'. But will
this be permitted -- i.e., can I just go ahead and do the unlinking,
or should I coordinate this with Metaweb?

(3b) In addition to the single type '/people/person', there are also
names in English, Bulgarian, etc. I don't think there are any other
connections of interest. This question is very specific to these
objects -- Freebase does not have a 'list of X' type, so does it make
sense just to unlink everything, or would it make more sense to let
the names alone?
