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.

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.
Thanks,
GerardM
