+1, this sounds like a good rule of thumb. So we would include

- content about the object maintained by its operator, if publicly
visible to any internet user without login, payment or other barriers.
- open/free/libre third party content about the object.

Unlike attempting to include any link somehow related to the object,
this could actually keep the number of links to a manageable amount.
