  • named after (P138): entity or event that inspired the subject's name, or namesake (in at least one language). Qualifier "applies to name" (P5168) can be used to indicate which one
  • applies to name of object (P8338): (qualifier) label or alias (of the claim object) to which the claim applies

Motivation edit

Some place are name after generic name instead of a person. As for place named after species, they often make no sence since the label of the item is often in is scientific name instead of the venacular name. I think it would be nice if we can link it directly to the sense. Fralambert (talk) 13:05, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

You may instead want to create lexemes for these proper names.--GZWDer (talk) 15:37, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
How it would resolve the problem of the source. Since for the « lac du Pékan » only 2 of the 13 lakes have a source about the origin of the name. Fralambert (talk) 00:50, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose I don't think it's correct to say that entities are named after lexemes. Bow River is likely named after bow (Q204948) or some other bow. If you think it's not named after any entity that has the name bow, can you expend on why you think so? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 17:03, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
