Motivation
[edit]Above lists a few alternative properties, but none seem really satisfactory. For date of birth (P569) of Kamala Harris (Q10853588), I found "State File Number 64-295984, Local Registration District and Certificate Number 6015 15318". Maybe the entire string could go in this property. One could obviously try to distinguish further: the entry in the registry, the certificate based on that entry, etc. (Add your motivation for this property here.) --- Jura 10:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]- Comment Ideally this would have a mandatory qualifier, otherwise it's not useful information, just arbitrary noise, like an accession number without a collection. "656" or "151 61 10641" mean nothing in isolation. -Animalparty (talk) 04:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- It's similar to some of the others listed in "see also" above or page(s) (P304): depending on how it's used (in references, as main statement, on Commons files), some additional information needs to be added with other properties. This can be qualifier, but could also be an additional reference property or another property used as main statement. --- Jura 13:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
