Speaking as someone who knows nothing about Wikidata, the phrase "once
the article is linked on Wikidata" doesn't mean anything. From a bit
of digging around, I see that someone has to create a Wikidata page
for each biographical subject, but who? Will the bot "MerllwBot" (that
created the Mario Goeppert-Mayer page) eventually create all the
others?
It's a mix of bots and humans creating them. At this point my best
guess is that a very large part of pages already have a corresponding
page on Wikidata. But that's just a guess. In total we have 3,985,290
on Wikidata at the moment, and growing.
From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with
more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on
Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise.
If there's a Wikidata item that linked to the corresponding article you
are on, "Edit links" will appear on the side bar under Languages.
