Please don't do that; at least not in the manner discussed below.

That object does not map Leo Varadkar TD (presumably, it's his
registered office?). If you wish to add a Wikipedia tag, use something
like:

   occupant:wikipedia=en:Leo Varadkar

That should be subject:wikipedia=en:Lafcadio Hearn.

manufacturer:wikipedia=en:Henry_Pooley_%26_Son
