Discussion edit
Strong oppose Same observation: WM doesn't organize a directory for private businesses.- You seem to misunderstand several things; not least: this proposal, Wikidata's purpose, and current practice (Amazon author ID (P4862), Google Books ID (P675), Apple Music album ID (U.S. version) (P2281), Spotify album ID (P2205)).

Support David (talk) 07:17, 31 March 2019 (UTC)- Support by analogy with other properties of this type, though @Pigsonthewing: is there a formatter URL that is language and region independent (i.e. not exclusively "gb/en")? Mahir256 (talk) 19:25, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
Comment Following your RegEx, the entries can not be good. I propose [a-z](-|[a-z])*[a-z]instead.. Check. --Eihel (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Oppose per Kam Solusar (see Wikidata:Property proposal/Kobo author ID). Multichill (talk) 16:55, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
Not done @Pigsonthewing, ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2, Mahir256, Multichill: The problem detected by Kam Solusar (with john-smith) in the other proposition is not transposable here. On the other hand, a search with paul-simpson does not only lead us to this narrator. Moreover, according to my observations (as in the previous proposal), all the narrators are not represented by the RegEx (michael-e-gerber for example). So, I am also classifying this proposal without Property. --Eihel (talk) 08:10, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
