Wikidata (and for that matter the English Wikipedia) notability
policies allow for an item for every settlement; even a hamlet of just
a few houses.
The issues on naming described at the top of this thread are unlikely
to apply to small objects, such as individual dwellings and minor
roads.
That said, Wikidata also allows for an entry for every designated
historic monument ("listed building"), and already has an entry for
every street in the Netherlands.
