Hi Thad,
These are in scope for Wikidata and so should be retained - as there are Wikipedia articles on those topics, we need to use the entries in Wikidata in order to provide cross-language functionality for those articles.
However, if you have concerns about them getting mixed in with 'real' entities, filtering out any entry with P31:Q13406463 should omit most of them from your results.
(There is a related grey area in that many "Lists of X", say for office-holders or prize-winners, often map directly to another language's entry on the office or prize; what is the Wikidata item really "about"? But that's something that hopefully will resolve itself over time.)
Andrew.

In Freebase, we had bot scripts that went through and removed "Lists of Things" topic entities since they are lists of entities and not useful clumped together and normalized in a graph database.
Does Wikidata have something similar or a user review process for deletion of these ?
Ex. List of tallest buildings in Wuhan - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6642364
