Wikidata:Properties for deletion/P2123

YerelNet village ID (P2123): (delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

Yerelnet website was a government-supported website in Turkey. There was an identifier id for every village in Turkey and it had an index about all villages. However, this project was terminated by a law in 2018. The domain name of the site (https://www.yerelnet.org.tr) is currently used for personal purposes and the site does not currently serve as a database. Also, all id numbers added to wikidata pages are currently not working. For these reasons, it would be appropriate to delete Property:P2123. —Sadrettin (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Delete It seems that this site is currently not working. It is better to make it stop. Mereyü 💬/✉️ 16:06, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Delete Right. Yerelnet is not working anymore. We don't need this property. --Kurmanbek💬 16:23, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadrettin: Have you exported the current IDs (for historical purposes)?--Geverkshaft (talk) 10:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Delete Looks reasonable. Nanahuatl (talk) 18:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Keep for now, as it's the only way to find villages (or places that were villages until recently) in a district (although now several years out of date). Many have been archived or included in an archived list from which the identifier can be found. It was mostly accurate, although because places could be added it had a few (around 5-10) additions that were not part of the data originally added to the site that were probably neighbourhoods or other locations (although I'm not sure if any of these are in Wikidata). Otherwise the P31 can be vague (Erikli, Bozüyük (Q1155400) for example, which otherwise only has a GeoNames ID). Wikidata:Property proposal/Tüik number needs proposing as separate properties, including one for village; when approved and added to items, it can replace this.

I also noticed most instances of mahalle (Q17051044) were changed to neighborhood (Q123705) (which seems incorrect, as is the statement that Q123705 is a subclass of administrative territorial entity type (Q15617994) - and in most countries Q123705 isn't an instance of that either). Instances of village in Turkey (Q1529096) would then become village (Q532) to be consistent, although I prefer more specific administrative units for Wikidata - at least make it clear whether something is an administrative unit or not. Adding statements such as that in Q123705 (or quarter (Q2983893), where the claim to be a subclass of administrative territorial entity (Q56061) is wrong in some countries and conflicts with the description) is not the correct way to clarify this, or to fix constraint violations, or whatever was intended.

YerelNet links were added years ago and the website closed 8 years ago. If you believe that you can rely on these links and find villages in Turkey, this list will be very incomplete. Frankly, I can't find a single concrete benefit for not deleting YerelNet connections. Sadrettin (talk) 19:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
