Hello Denny,
I think we in Europeana had the same problem in the GLAMwiki toolset project [1]. We wanted to submit the metadata we had for Europeana objects to be uploaded in Commons, but that was not fully possible... So we'd have to think of an alternative. Do you think it could happen via Wikidata?
Hey Antoine :)
Without knowing what the issues where it is impossible to say if this can/should be done via Wikidata to be honest.
Very roughly: it makes sense to have data about creators, institutions, (famous) works of art, places and events on Wikidata. These could be used to describe media files. However, information about individual files should not be on Wikidata but on commons - for now, using templates, later, using structured data.
