@SilentSpike: enWP has no general article on Marilyns -- there is just the list article. If we separate the list article from the topic, there will be no cross-language links from en to other articles about the Marilyns. This doesn't seem right to me. Can we restore the merge?

@Hike395: It may be an idea to bring this question to the project chat to get some more viewpoints, but my experience as a primarily Wikidata contributor tell me that it would be incorrect to have the sitelink of a list article connected to the item about the list's subject. I'm understanding of (and sympathetic to) the intention behind such a merge, but I don't necessarily see any issue with the sitelinks being on separate items since the wiki pages are not actually on the same subject (i.e. one is a list article, the other isn't - the whole reason we have these distinct items in Wikidata). They're still linked by one-degree of relationship (via the has list property) - which I think is more appropriate to the data model. Like I say though, it could be worthwhile to seek more editors input on this as I'm sure it's a general situation that comes up a lot. --SilentSpike (talk) 19:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed both subclass of statements, because that would imply that any Marilyn is both a hill and a mountain which does not seem right to me - there are Marilyns that are rather to be considered as a hill and other ones that are rather to be considered as a mountain.
