But I was applying that rule to OSM, not wikidata.  Wikidata can do
whatever it wants.
But if there's a wikidata item for a grouping then OSM mappers should not
apply that
item to individual members of the group.

If I recall correctly, I made that statement in the context of rules being
over-zealously
applied.  That particular case happened to me over on the commons.  Nothing
in the
template said I shouldn't do that, nothing in any documentation I could find
said I shouldn't do that, what I did was consistent and made things more
usable.
But somebody decided that, by his interpretation of some arcane rule, I was
wrong.  So be
it.  It's something that happens across many open-source projects where
anarchy
semi-rules.
