In general, policies for notability in Wikidata will be governed by the

achieve two things:
* The system should be able to handle a lot of data.
* The interfaces and data access features should minimize the negative

Dear all
I don't think this is a difficult problem, two points should be clarified
first:
1. Al most all facts on Wikipedia need not be sourced.
2. Since sourcing cannot inform us of truth/falsehood of a fact - it, at
