Slave ownership database

In WT:WP EMEW DrThneed suggested:

Re identifiers. You might consider adding the Legacies of British Slave-ownership properties

• Legacies of British Slave-ownership place ID (P8587) and
• Legacies of British Slave-ownership person ID (P3023) to the list.

While they are well out of period, they do link people to places, and I've used them successfully in combination with British History Online and National Heritage listings to disambiguate estates and houses with similar names.DrThneed (talk) 03:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Prosopographies of people of commercial importance

On the Viae Regiae (Q105547906) Slack ColinStuartGreenstreet suggested that there are large scale prosopographies covering people of commercial importance in London and elsewhere, not currently tracked on Wikidata, for example

• Alfred P Beaven, The Aldermen of the City of London Temp. Henry III - 1912 (London, 1908), British History Online
• J. R. Woodhead (Q87185437), The Rulers of London 1660-1689 A Biographical Record of the Aldermen and Common Councilmen of the City of London (London, 1966), British History Online
