Instance of Western philosopher?[edit]

I was going to add a value for "instance of": "Western philosopher" (which I'm fairly sure is correct). However, there is no entry for "Western philosopher". Why is there an entry for "Game of Thrones character" but not "Western philosopher"‽ --Bringback2ndpersonverbs (talk) 00:16, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Humans only get one "instance of"-value: human (Q5). All other informations have to be modelled via different properties. That he is a philosopher is expressed via "occupation":"philosopher". That he comes from the Western cultural area can be derived via birth place, country of citizenship (if applicable), death place, etc. - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 09:22, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
