Hey Erika
One suggestion, add a step before creating a new item on Wikidata of
searching for an existing item, it may be an item exists but isn't linked to
Wikipedia.
With authority control, that may be a self-repairing a problem - if
you add an identifier that already exists on another item, it'll be
automatically logged and flagged on the constraints report. These get
pruned every now and again, so the duplicate record will get fixed in
time. See, for example, a few examples (which are probably my fault!)
