We've had this discussion before, actually. Things like traffic 
violations, locations of stop signs, and owners of real estate are 
verifiable, because they're (usually) part of the public record. But 
very few people would argue that those should be part of WP; I would say 
that it goes against our intuition of what is a summary of human 
knowledge, vs the entirety, which we might be more inclined to call a 
"library".
