Hi Thad,

These are in scope for Wikidata and so should be retained - as there
are Wikipedia articles on those topics, we need to use the entries in
Wikidata in order to provide cross-language functionality for those
articles.

However, if you have concerns about them getting mixed in with 'real'
entities, filtering out any entry with P31:Q13406463 should omit most
of them from your results.

(There is a related grey area in that many "Lists of X", say for
office-holders or prize-winners, often map directly to another
language's entry on the office or prize; what is the Wikidata item
really "about"? But that's something that hopefully will resolve
itself over time.)

Andrew.
