English Wikipedia has a de facto guideline of considering any
settlement which is on a reliable and independent map or gazetteer to
be notable enough to have an article; (the current draft proposal to
formalise this is at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NGEO>

Wikidata notability guidelines accept anything with a Wikipedia
article (in any language) *or* which is "a clearly identifiable
conceptual or material entity. The entity must be notable, in the
sense that it can be described using serious and publicly available
references."
