- Motivation
Sorry if it's not properly presented, it's my first proposal. I'm currently working on entries about printmakers and prints publishers. For those people, their "sign" ("enseigne" in French) is very important since it's more or less their adress (which will be written on the prints themselves) and the name of their shop (which can be sold to aother publisher who will keep this sign or not). It will be the same for books publishers and almost all the traders in the Early Modern Age in Europe. Please tell me if you need anything ;-) Remi Mathis (talk) 16:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Discussion
- I broadly support this, but I'm wondering about some details. Particularly whether the datatype should be string or monolingual text and if the latter whether they should be translated? Alternatively we could use the existing P969 (P969). Thryduulf (talk) 21:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Remi Mathis, Thryduulf, Pigsonthewing: I am closing this as 
Not done for now. In general, this sounds like a useful property, but the open questions - especially a property example with Wikidata items - have not been addressed. --Srittau (talk) 17:11, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
