You think they are not objects of historical interest or collectable items that resemble or relate to coins?
But they shouldn't be in Patterns.
Of course, they relate to coins, but then the end of life of coin is also needed? Example joined! A destroyed Dutch 1 cent coin from 2000!
That's as far from pattern as you can get! At least this one can be identified and placed in time. This is anyway, for the time being of no historical interest and we miss the corresponding blanc. So where is the interest?
Based on your definition, that means most blank planchets mentioned here, especially the US penny planchet are not patterns? If I can recall, the zinc planchet was distributed to the visitors of the US mint when they tour the minting progress. By definition, that zinc planchet is not a test coin then.

Historically interesting? Most often not really.
Of interest to people who care about the minting process? Most likely.
Deserving of a separate coin page? In the vast majority of cases no IMO.
If it's an error you can always list those under the page of the intended coin under ‘undetermined’ (or even as examples).
And if I can not find out the coin it was meant to be? … then what point would have a catalog page for it in the first place other then to list ones personal junk? Like larger swaths of the exonumia catalog, populated by single owner entries.
Just my 2 cents, but a blank penny planchet is considered a collectible numismatic item by many. After all, you can buy them from your LCS (Local Coin shop) or even directly from the U.S. Mint if you'd like. Allow me to explain.
(Side Note: No, I don't recommend wasting money getting them certified. Grading fees exceed resale value.)
You can sometimes buy blank penny planchets from your LCS (Local Coin shop). I once bought a blank penny planchet from my LCS for just a few dollars. They don't have a high resale value. But, I just wanted one for my own personal collection.

Since coin planchets are numismatic to many, does a separate category for them need to exist? They are not patterns, and neither are they medals. This category could be used to account of their existence in coin sets such as the 2019 coin set being discussed.
After reading the link above, apparently there never was (and still isn't) any standardization in the Numista catalog for blanks (and/or) what's known as blank planchets. When I search through the Numista catalog I see blank planchets cataloged all over the place: "Emergency Coinage", "Patterns", "Tokens", "Medals".
I would propose the following new structure under the root of "Coins":
Coins + Discs - Type 1 Blank (No Raised Rim) - Type 2 Planchet (With Raised Rim)
[Edited above to change terminology.]
Most all of the examples we typically see would fall under Type 2 (With Raised Rim). But I did notice some blanks on the French catalog that don't have a raised rim and hence would be considered Type 1 blank. Anyone is welcome to modify my example or suggest something completely different.
Technically Type 1 is a Blank. A Blank becomes a Planchet (Type 2) after the rim is made. I suggest you revive the other post with this since it is still open.
