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.)

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 ?
