I'm not that familiar with the photosubmissions OTRS queue, and I've no idea if we have that rule internally on OTRS. But it surely seems a weird rule. Anything that is on scope to Commons - which is the case for anything used in Wikdiata too - should be accepted in photosubmission, period. That claimed attachment to Wikipedia, a project very well known for often having a communities with draconian and unhelpful rules of notability, doesn't seem productive in the least. If that rule exists at all, it should be dropped and the images accepted.
"some people have turned Wikidata into a dumping ground for scientific papers and a phone book for scientists" - O RLY?

Can you provide some links? I keep asking images for Wikidata items since years and I do not recall any issue at all. I have the feeling that as long everything is formally correct (all categories prepared and linked via wikidata infobox) nobody digs into that very much. It's true however that I have a cynical approach. In general, I think
that
whoever spends his/her time on this and not on deleting unused low resolution old images or cropping files or improving categorization is probably more focused on chasing users than actually cleaning up. As soon as you assume that this is the core source of the behavior, you can teach newbies quite well how to avoid it. It's not "good faith" but... it kinda works. Alessandro

Hoi, Apparantly at Commons they have standardised themselves to only support Wikipedia.
At Wikidata we have people who are notable according to our standards. We are actively asking them for images to illustrate our information. The
best
suggestion we get is: do not ask for images because they are deleted at Commons.
When this is what awaits us when we standardise on one label Wikipedia,
it
is obvious that this is the worst scenario for the "other" projects. The projects who operate to different standards who have notability criteria different from English Wikipedia.
