Motivation

We are very new to using Wikidata, apologies for the inevitable errors. We are working on a project where we are adding people of local importance that we have materials about within our university archives into Wikidata. One of the pieces of information that we see as being helpful for our users and possibly for other archives or researchers is who corresponded with who. Similar to "influenced by" and "significant person" and the properties associated with artists and their influences but so far missing from Wikidata properties - adding "correspondent of" would show more of the connections between literary, political, religious, creative, and other people of note and which is important historical data to represent.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by UVicMetadata (talk • contribs) at 22:43, May 13, 2020‎ (UTC).

•  Oppose, use significant person (P3342) with a qualifier instead. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 17:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC).
•  Oppose per Nomen ad hoc. An example for Ada Lovelace (Q7259):
