For streets, we have now an approved bot task adding all Dutch streets on Wikidata
Approved by whom? I foresee the majority of those being deleted as non- notable.
By me as a crat.
You mean this:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/RobotMic...
which was approved after two days, and with only comments - not a !vote of support - from just one editor other than the proposer?
That's not much discussion, much less evidence of consensus for a 240,000-item import and a precedent for several magnitudes more than that.
In the future, if you want your opinion on bot tasks to be taken into account, please comment on bot permission requests. I usually let them pend for several days, which obviously can be extended if there are constructive comments.
