It is a bit unclear what the policy of this mailing list is. All that I can find is from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mailing_list
1. Wikidata - Discussion list for the Wikidata project.
This doesn't provide much guidance.
Before determining the policy for CfPs it appears to me that there should be a better determination of what posts are acceptable and unacceptable in general.
My view is that posts to the mailing list should have a connection to Wikidata. This would include, for example, CfPs for venues that are about Wikidata or that cover Wikidata. (So WikidataCon is in; HIS'21 is out; NaBIC 2021 is out; IAS 2021 is out; the JWS special issue on community-based KBs and KGs is in; IBICA'21 is out.) I would not require that venues are free access (as that would rule out almost every conference).
But who is going to bell this cat?

Back on point, please.
In regards to calls for papers, do we want to ban them altogether, to set standards to allow some of them, or leave them be as they are now?
