•  Support looks like an odd mix of names, but useful nonetheless Jane023 (talk) 11:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Neutral Only 142 entries, probably no information about the artists we don't have already. But might be useful when someone wants to import their artworks in the future. Lowest threshold of usefulness to create an ID property in my eyes if at all. --Marsupium (talk) 12:07, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose 142 is too few to justify an ID property. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Looks like the site has only be running for a month or so, I am sure that the number of IDs will only grow and grow. Interesting that the page includes a section of links to "Museums with works by <X>". I wonder if they get that data, and the identifiers for that link, from us? If so, Sotheby's themselves might have quite an interest in keeping this property updated as they increase their number of artists included. Jheald (talk) 09:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

• @Thierry Caro, Jheald: do they have Museum pages with useful info? Maybe another prop? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 20:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
  • I've started a proposal there. Thierry Caro (talk) 22:14, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
