Discussion

•  Oppose for putting a little too much information within each 'identifier'. There are usually dedicated properties for individual online Oxford works, such as American National Biography ID (P4823), Grove Art Online ID (P8406), Grove Music Online ID (P8591), and Oxford African American Studies Center ID (P9332); you might wish to propose properties for individual Oxford Reference works instead. Mahir256 (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Mahir256: I accept with pleasure your opposition and I understand that we should not weigh down the identifiers by putting a little too much information (1,262,945 subject topics!!).

  I will follow your valuable advice and start with the suggestion of creating a property dedicated to one of Oxford's individual works online, and I have chosen The Oxford Dictionary of Islam (Q7449413) as my first proposal in this context. Soufiyouns (talk) 08:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

• Is this proposal being withdrawn then? ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

  @ArthurPSmith: This proposal has fully played out and consummated its educational and didactic character, and I think it should be canceled and archived. Soufiyouns (talk) 07:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
