    Property proposal discussions[edit]

    Values[edit]

    Currently the property combines a few different concepts in my opinion. That means that we potentially can increase the data structure. Some subgroups I noticed are:

    • Diseases
    • Life ending methods (e.g. decapitation, stoning)
    • Circumstances of death (e.g. accident, assassination, plane crash, duel)
    • Life ending tools (e.g. shell (Q318028), land mine)

    We could also add the details into the qualifier:

    • Cause of death: murder
    • circumstance of death: robbery
    • life ending device: gun
    • life ending trauma: gunshot wound

    or

    • Cause of death: disease
    • circumstance of death: contracted disease
    • disease: malaria
    • life ending trauma: multiple organ failure

    Examples are not well thought out, but its just something to think about for the future. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    @Emw: Can you take a look at this the next time you have time? --Tobias1984 (talk) 15:40, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree, this one has become messy. Murder is not a cause of death. There's some causes on this page: List of causes of death by rate. A new property such as circumstances of death may be useful for claiming some on was murdered, etc. Danrok (talk) 01:25, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Danrok, Emw: I think Emw would suggest that the new property should be independent (and not a qualifier as in my example above). --Tobias1984 (talk) 12:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tobias1984, Emw: Proposal here: Wikidata:Property_proposal/Person#circumstances_of_death. Danrok (talk) 17:27, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Single value?[edit]

    It is quite common that a death has several causes, see for example Henrik Ibsen. Jeblad (talk) 10:07, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Some improvements[edit]

    I propose to change

    ⟨ subject ⟩ cause of death (P509) View with SQID ⟨ execution by firing squad (Q216169)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩

    with

    ⟨ subject ⟩ cause of death (P509) View with SQID ⟨ ballistic trauma (Q2140674)  View with Reasonator View with SQID ⟩

    (may be to add something about Q216169 (manner of death (P1196)?). And I feel that values Armenian genocide (Q80034), Smolensk air disaster (Q131311) should be changed somehow but I can't propose with what. --Infovarius (talk) 07:30, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Hm, but this is a loss of information. How to keep ballistic trauma (Q2140674)? --Infovarius (talk) 15:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Date of birth necessary?[edit]

    It says "An entity with cause of death should also have a statement date of birth." Why? This means that a person of who the date of birth is unknown, which isn't uncommon for persons who lived in the Middle Ages, cannot have a cause of death? Weird... --HRvO (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    @HRvO: I'm not sure why that would be specified. It might mean that it's preferable, but not mandatory. - Bossanoven ( talk) 11:46, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm also getting this warning, while editing the item for a person whose date of birth is unknown. Date of birth is unrelated to cause of death. This should not be a constraint. --Infomuse (talk) 01:54, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    If the date of birth is unknown, there should be a date of birth statement with a value of "unknown". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:46, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    It makes no sense at all adding birth dates with "unknown" value just to avoid a warning that shouldn't be there in first place. Therefore, I was bold and removed it.--DarwIn (talk) 04:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Need constraint to prevent it from being used in places like mechlorethamine exposure (Q21513721)[edit]

    Currently cause of death (P509) is used incorrectly on mechlorethamine exposure (Q21513721) - this should be prevented by a constraint.

    Single value constraint[edit]

    We should remove the single value constraint. In the UK, for example, it is usual to have up to three causes on a death certificate. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:45, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Killed in Action[edit]

    killed in action (Q210392) doesn't belong here. It should be recorded as manner of death (P1196)death in battle (Q18663901) and military casualty classification (P1347)killed in action (Q210392). (And I would additionally merge those values or killed in action (Q210392)subclass of (P279)death in battle (Q18663901), but that's less clear) --Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 18:08, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Fictional Characters[edit]

    Is there a way to remove the date of death constraint for fictional characters? Koziarke (talk) 16:29, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
