imho:
probably you have a local and domain knowledge on the topic of "Flemish
churches"
but for me:  wikidata without wikipedia page - is  extremely suspicious

because:

#1.  Sometimes the " nearby" search for geolocated articles/wikidataids is
not enough
for example:
* at least ~28000 churches exist in the wikidata without coordinates:

And probably we will also find wikidata cities without coordinates.

#2. And we should aware of the current "Parallel geo worlds" problem in the
wikidata[1]
for example:
Arad ( major City in Romania ) has 3 wikidata, and we should prefer id with
wikipedia pages.
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173591 ( with wikipedia pages, linked to
OSM )
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31886684 (  created by Cebuano import [1]
   ~1 month ago) * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16898082
