If it's not used on Welsh Wikipedia, maybe the best thing would be to make a Wikidata-based one - just add the blank template to people's articles, and watch it automagically fill with vaules from Wikidata. The last thing the Wikiverse needs is to add the occasional VIAF entry on Welsh Wikipedia as wikitext. Not in 2014.
