I'm thinking about notability in Wikidata and how it may conflict with Wikipedia
current policies and community conceptions. Will Wikidata allow to create entities for
small villages, asteroids, galaxies, stars, species, etc, that are not allowed today at
Wikipedia? Including about those that don't have article in any Wikipedia?
Are you referring to the English Wikipedia's notability guidelines? I don't see
why they would apply here, just as they don't apply to the English Wiktionary or the
German Wikipedia. As far as I know, every Wikimedia project comes up with it's own
guidelines. Are there any Wikimedia-wide guidelines?
On the other hand, as I understand it, Phase 1 of Wikidata is mostly about cataloging the
union of all the Wikipedias, so if a concept is missing from =every= Wikipedia, I wonder
if it will make the cut for Phase 1.
