Comment this has been proposed in the reverse direction here: Wikidata:Property proposal/demonym of - I think we only need one of these, and I think the other proposal is the better one to have as it's a to-one rather than a to-many relation. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:52, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @ArthurPSmith: I think you're right. But a lot of infoboxes have a demonym field - how do we handle them by Wikidata? (I don't know, has somebody written a Lua script to extract statements by SPARQL to find statements where the item in question is the object?) Deryck Chan (talk) 10:43, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support having the property, when the conflict is solved. – Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 14:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tubezlob, Susannaanas: I'll be quite happy to withdraw this proposal and support the Lexeme -> Item "demonym of" property instead, if you both agree. Deryck Chan (talk) 15:01, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I withdraw my support, since the proposals need to mature and I need to study the options better. – Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 05:33, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
