Geographical data is usually very scarce in the DWU. So maps in comic stories can potentially be very useful. I found two already (I added File:Upper_Manhattan_map.jpg to Manhattan and tried to find all already existing pages for objects on the map and add the map to these pages).
Here is my question: should all legible data from such maps be turned into pages? In particular, should pages be created for East 79th Street, East 80th Street, East 81st Street, etc.? I am not lazy and would be happy to do it. This would help find these objects easily if they ever appear in a future story. On the other hand, this multitude of similarly named streets, which probably never appeared in any story outside this map, may potentially clog search suggestions. There may be other ill-effects of such mass page creation that I do not see.
I've seen the smallest posters turned into pages in other comic stories (for instance, each store at the Fluren Temporal Bazaar has its own page). On the other hand, this is just one map. Should it generate dozens of pages?
Perhaps, admins/more experienced editors could suggest what would be best operationally.
