Depends on the domain of expertise of the volunteer contributors. I work on paintings and for painters we have included alias names from painter databases in the alias field on Wikidata, so searches for painters will probably work better on Wikidata than on any Wikipedia. For writers, this hasn't been done (but to be fair I don't know if there are any databases with alias names in them such as the ones for painters). For items about women this is a problem when some Wikipedias use the married name instead of the maiden name. It would be nice if everyone would add proper aliases to Wikidata, but there are still lots of Wikipedians who write articles and never go to Wikidata at all.

Hi all,
I am glad that Osma Suominen asked this "newbie" question, since I was wondering about the same. I'm just looking for compared statistics between Wikidata, the different editions of Wikipedia and those of DBpedia.
The question I am trying to solve is simply: what is the probability that a place or a person name that is not mentioned in Wikidata can be found somewhere in Wikipedia or in DBpedia? If anyone has any elements to answer that question, it would be appreciated. Ettore Rizza

It is not a language, this depends on the bot owners. I would not be surprised if there projects they never visit.
I am a Russian Wikivoyage admin, and we make sure all newly created items have a Wikidata link, but I think if we for whatever reason fail to create an item manually, it never gets bot created.
Cheers Yaroslav

So each language wikipedia does this on an ad-hoc basis?

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.
