Motivation

This property could be used on almost every item about German railway stations. Currently some station items have statements like instance of (P31)category 3 railway station (Q18681688). I think it would be better to have a distinct property. --Entbert (talk) 18:21, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Entbert: why would a specific proprety be useful rather than just instance of (P31)? − Pintoch (talk) 17:31, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- The station category is not a defining property of a railway station and changes over time. Just like we don't use instance of (P31)actor (Q33999) or instance of (P31)Deutsche Bahn-operated railway station but rather occupation (P106)actor (Q33999) and operator (P137)Deutsche Bahn (Q9322). In addition, it would be easier to make use of property constraints and query the category. --Entbert (talk) 20:34, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Pintoch; have all category railway station items be subclass of (P279) railway station (Q55488) and have Deutsche Bahn railway stations be instance of (P31) <whichever category>. Mahir256 (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not really convinced by a P31 approach. Maybe with the property "has quality"?

Support I am damned with nowadays P31 usage. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support, either as is or as a broader "railway station category" as there are different categorisation systems used in at least the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Thryduulf (talk) 01:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support as it is an official and very good described categorization of the operator of all stations in germany DB Station&Service (Q1152119). Nortix08 (talk) 13:04, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
