For instance, Wikidata now has items for practically all streets in the Netherlands. 99% of these will likely never ever have their own article, image, or page in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, or Wikivoyage.



yes, currently it doesn’t seem the deletionists are active in wikidata, but also wikipedia was not always like it is today. The notability policy is there and one day someone might come and say: these roads are just ordinary roads, nothing notable about them to keep, they will likely never ever have their own article, image, or page in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, or Wikivoyage..

cheers,
