However, as I discovered that localities (such as <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/421656183" target="_blank">Javerne</a>) aren't mostly covered by wikipedia articles, I created a few. This led to all the 3 localities pages I had created being deleted by the wikipedia moderators.<br><br></div>Is it like an official policy and if yes is it still worth to link localities to orphan wikidata objects?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Can you link to the deleted article?</div><div>Is this locality "notable" (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability</a>)?</div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion it is worth to add entries to wikidata, with triples describing them properly as you did.
