In general, policies for notability in Wikidata will be governed by the community of (all) Wikidata editors. On the technical side, we aim to achieve two things:
* The system should be able to handle a lot of data.
* The interfaces and data access features should minimize the negative impact that additional (correct but not very important) data has on usage.
Of course, both goals have their limits and there will always be good (technical or social) reasons to not include everything. We would rather like to support linking and data integration with external data bases than suggest *every* fact of the world to be copied to Wikidata.

Hi all;
I'm thinking about notability in Wikidata and how it may conflict with Wikipedia current policies and community conceptions. Will Wikidata allow to create entities for small villages, asteroids, galaxies, stars, species, etc, that are not allowed today at Wikipedia? Including about those that don't have article in any Wikipedia?
I will be happy if so.
