Thank you for your answer, Jane. I had not thought about the fact that some professions could be better represented than others. I imagined that the mapping between Wikipedia and Wikidata was ultra-automated. It's very interesting.
Thank you Jane and everyone else for your speedy responses. Postponing the creation of Wikidata entities for newly created Wikipedia articles that may turn out to be short-lived makes total sense. So we will simply create the corresponding Wikidata entities manually in cases like this.

Checking the history of that page shows it was recently created. Not sure how the Finns do this but like the Dutch they probably have a bot that creates Wikidata items after a month or so has passed (this avoids creating items for things that get deleted through the "speedy delete" process). You can create the item yourself, or wait another month I guess.

Hi,
This may be a total newbie question, sorry about that!
While linking YSO places to Wikidata we have stumbled on a few cases
where there is a Wikipedia article about the place we want to link,
but that page has no Wikidata link visible. And it seems that
Wikidata itself does not contain that entity.
An example is the village Teuro in Tammela, Finland. It has a page
on the Finnish Wikipedia:
https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teuro
<https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teuro >
But that page has no Wikidata link. A search for "Teuro" in Wikidata
gives a few hits, but none of them represent the village.
What's the correct way to correct this? I found this guide:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Linking_Wikipedia_pages
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Linking_Wikipedia_pages >
But I'm not 100% it addresses this exact situation. How did this
happen in the first place? My naïve understanding was that every
normal article in Wikipedia would have a corresponding Wikidata
entity, but apparently that's not entirely true!
