Those travel-related stubs don't seem to care whether anyone comes along to add content.
Just trying google search for small place in Hong Kong, readily find a listing promising maps, weather and airports for this place - don't make me laugh, there's no airport there; nor does page show a map of the place, or weather recorded there. Just scamming people

Another site boasts of being the best travel forum for this place: has zero posts, so quite how this makes it best I dunno.

Another offers travel deals there: yet there are no hotels etc for miles.

Bah! Humbug!

At least, as far as I could be bothered checking the search result, not seeing a page for flower shop there (even tho no such shops for miles). I have seen for some other small places.

I've emailed google about pages like these; as this thread shows, they remain commonplace - and google even encouraging their creation.

Not so much a personal gripe - I have page at top of the results (it's a really, really small place!); but there are pages on this place, with info and photos, yet they are jumbled in with the stubs, so google results not a boon to users.
- we see Google advising re webmasters making sites that work for users.
Google could likewise better help users.
