Is "the same geographical area" relevant ? Why should a data consumer use a separate datebase to identify the brand of an item ?
Simply because some people had suggested that "brand:wikidata" was unnecessary because you could always work out what brand a name was by location, and some people had suggested that it was necessary because you couldn't - it was just an attempt to find a concrete example; not an attempt to prove a point either way.
Of course this is unrelated to whether or not wikidata/wikipedia/any other foreign key belongs in OSM (as discussed at length elsewhere).
