Thanks Yaroslav.
I can see a brief discussion that seems to have happened month ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Twitter
But the BLP that I edit have only started to be changed in the last couple of weeks.
I still think this is very disingenuous to expect no responsibility or communication by and with Wikidata. Wikidata is becoming the host repository for this information now. Doesn't that "ownership" imply some sort of responsibility, interactively, with its sister projects. Especially the largest one, English Wikipedia?
I have actually come over to the side of being convinced that Authority Control and datasets like Twitter are serviced well by Wikidata -- and support this process. But documentation and communication needs to be vastly improved so that both Wikidatans and Wikipedians know how the data is added, updated, etc.

So if this is not the place to discuss these issues, should I be going to the Wikipedia-l with them? Issues that directly relate to Wikidata?
I would really appreciate some clarification on this.
Hi Erika,
I guess the starting point would be to contact on-wiki (e.g. on the English Wikipedia) the user who is removing the templates (or the bot owner) and ask for the venue where the issue was discussed. If such venue exists, I am pretty sure it is on Wikipedia. If this has not been discussed, it probably needs to be stopped.
Cheers Yaroslav
