But having a corresponding page/article/image is just the 1st of the 3
criteria for keeping an item in Wikidata. These Dutch streets fulfill the
2nd criteria which you already quoted: "The entity must be notable, in the
sense that it can be described using serious and publicly available
references" and the Notability policy only requires that at least 1 of the
3 criteria is met.
