Yes, indeed. I wonder if you extrapolated forwards, how big or how
small a thing has to be before it received attention in the English
Wikipedia. As Wikipedia expands, articles and projects might be
created for smaller and smaller units. That is a country article, a
region article, a town article, a street article, and finally a
street address article. Will every address (32 million I believe) in
the UK have an article in Wikipedia? Probably not.
My example is absurd, of course. But my question is what is the
granularity of articles? Some places, buildings, streets are merged
and some stand on their own. Some are deleted since they do not meet
the current standards for "significance".
BTW, I live here....

.... hence, a place with great significance?
