- I would prefer "PitchBook company ID" as label for the property so that it follows our usual naming. Is there an argument for this label? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 01:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good. - PKM (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- Question I have several comments/questions about this proposal, which seems incomplete.
- As a non-subscriber, I can't find any way on the web interface to search for a comany profile. https://pitchbook.com/profiles works, but that is not obvious. How would an editor unfamiliar with this site find a profile? You might add source = https://pitchbook.com/profiles to address this question.
- The sample external ID you provide for BlackRock should be the variable part of the actual formatted link https://pitchbook.com/profiles/advisor/10768-06, so "advisor/10768-06", not "Blackrock company profile".
- The part of the link after /profiles/ is variable, for example https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/46488-07 for SpaceX. Therefore the formatter link should be https://pitchbook.com/profiles/$1 and the regex should allow alpha, numbers, hypens, and slashes, so \d+. (It would be even better to list all the possible values for business type if you know what those are - see the formatting for Encyclopædia Britannica Online ID (P1417). I have seen advisor, company, investor, limited-partner, person.) Also note that the "numeric" part of the ID may include a letter.
- Please indicate that this is Data type = String.
- Please include more examples of different types: a company, a person and an investor would be good to add. I found https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/46488-07, https://pitchbook.com/profiles/person/327483-37P, https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/106350-58. - Thanks - PKM (talk) 00:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Here's a person who actually has a wikidata ID: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/person/89071-66P = John Sculley (Q337024). Also note that Elon Musk has two IDS in PitchBook, one as an investor and one as a person. - PKM (talk) 01:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- As others said, the proposal needs a lot of fixes. The regex seems to be this --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 14:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
(person|advisor|company)/[0-9A-Z-]+
- @Fordaemdur: Do you need help improving this proposal? I saw elsewhere that you are new to proposing properties. I'm happy to help if wanted. - PKM (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ChristianKl, PKM, Vladimir Alexiev: proposal updated, would you like to give your opinions. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 18:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- The name of company ID is not inline with the person/advisor examples. Either a more general name or more specific properties. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 21:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- I suggest “PitchBook profile ID” with description “identifier for a company or individual in the PitchBook database of venture capital and private equity”. - PKM (talk) 22:22, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, looks good. I added the regex (I found another type "fund") and examples of type "investor". - PKM (talk)
- @PKM, ChristianKl: updated. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 13:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support the description from PKM is good as it gives an idea of what the property is about that goes beyond the information available from the label. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 16:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

- @ZI Jony: I'm getting a regex error - is it the / ? See Intuitive Machines (Q60760151)? - PKM (talk) 04:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @PKM:, regex error fixed, looks fine to me. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 18:26, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
