A way can be found, but there are multiple issues to solve:
- the name of the object may not be unique hence we may be unable to
satisfy Wikidata requirements on label/description uniqueness,
Wikidata does not require unique names.
- it must be fine to create items that contain no information other than
the name;
No, this is not OK (and they may be deleted); but nor is it necessary.
- it must be as easy to add coordinates to multiple items as it is with an
on-wiki table;
Why?
- it must be easy to publish new groups of items on the go, because the
list is built gradually (and very slowly) as we get new authorisations;
It is.
- there must be a way to automatically make an on-wiki table of items by
region (currently I'm not even sure we can make an on-wiki table of "municipalities of Emilia-Romagna" with Wikidata? let alone listing items which have some connection to them through N levels of P31, P1435, P279 or whatever);
This is, I believe, possible. For example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Wikidata_lists/Items_with...
is built by a bot.
