Hoi, Most of these could be / should be qualifiers. Several are historic and no longer valid. Thanks, GerardM

If we look at Glasgow, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4093
the values for P31 in question are:
Q515 -- city Q15060255 -- council area Q7309443 -- registration county Q202435 -- lieutenancy area of Scotland Q21457810 -- Scottish district (1975 to 1996)
Each of those statuses is different and independent (even in a purely Scottish context): none of them implies any of the others, none of them is implied by any of the others.
So, in this case, I don't see that "city of Scotland" would help at all.

Why have instance of item and instance of superclass of that item? If Glasgow is instance of : city of Scotland and City of Scotland is subclass of : city Then we should not have Glasgow instance of : city
This principle should cut down a lot of these extra 'instances '

A big city is what? A city with more than a given number of inhabitants? If so it is redundant because it can be inferred.
Criteria might be defined by local law and/or require some administrative act. That's how it works in Italy, for instance.
