Strategy scenario

Significant progress has been made towards the goal of representing sources as structured data, through the creation of Wikidata items for works cited across Wikimedia projects, the design of a range of bibliographic data models in Wikidata, as well as the creation of bots and tools (1 - 2) to support these workflows. Major gaps still exist to date — we have yet to ingest, at scale, sources other than academic/scientific papers (such as books, newspaper articles, web pages, TV/ radio, etc. and their authors) — but the project is making progress towards this goal.

The notability of these items, supporting their inclusion in Wikidata, has been long established by community consensus.
