Motivation edit
The ID can be used to fetch a curated list of a publisher's titles and other data. Data are retrievable through either the website or a public API. Authors and works on BookBrainz are already linked by Wikidata properties, but publishers and imprints are not. —Ringbang (talk) 22:30, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Discussion edit
Support ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:10, 30 March 2020 (UTC)- Support However, why expected to always be incomplete? I feel like all these publishing entities are notable as they will fulfil a structural need. --SilentSpike (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- @SilentSpike: To the extent that there is a structural need, I agree. My reluctance to expect eventual completeness is because of criterion 2 of WD:N, which requires that entities must be describable "using serious and publicly available references". In the case of highly obscure works, would BookBrainz alone satisfy this criterion? Remember that a "publishing house" can just be a name chosen to self-publish a single edition with a small print run. Would such cases prevent eventual completion? —Ringbang (talk) 00:47, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
