    as they said “The New York Times isn’t going to write an article about maintenance on highways in the middle-of-nowhere Texas or Colorado”, so it looks like they add informations that are not always backed with citations

    I can’t speak for US towns in particular but where I live such information is posted on websites all the time, be it the town’s official newspaper or a local news website.

    When English Wikipedia celebrated the millionth article, the topic was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordanhill_railway_station, “a side-platformed suburban railway station in the Jordanhill area in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland.” So, that type of information is fine.

      @woelkchen sure, but there are some infos that don’t have enough notability to be on Wikipedia: for example if a road has a minor renovation that shouldn’t be mentioned on Wikipedia, but it could be mentioned on this dedicated wiki
