There is a special packaged version of the en.wikipedia database (for example), which contains "Articles, templates, image descriptions, and primary meta-pages." It omits most Wikipedia namespace pages.
If Geographic References is going to stay in the Wikipedia namespace, it certainly needs to be included in this database dump, as that is the dump that mirrors are encouraged to use (and Geographic References should be included in the mirrors).
This sounds like the best solution: Wikipedia namespace (as it's not a genuine encyclopaedic article), but marked as being closely related to articles and a "must have" for content reusers.
