Discussion

• @Pharos: Why not use the existing coordinate location (P625) as a qualifier on a place of burial (P119) statement?

Here are some counts for uses of P625 as a qualifier: https://w.wiki/5esp . Already there are over 10,000 cases of place of burial (P119) statements with coordinate location (P625) as a qualifier. It's also a commonly used idiom with headquarters location (P159), connects with (P2789), mouth of the watercourse (P403), origin of the watercourse (P885) and more.

Here https://w.wiki/5es$ is a map of those place of burial (P119) statements world-wide with coordinate location (P625) as a qualifier, and here https://w.wiki/5etC are people buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery (Q311) in Paris. Jheald (talk) 09:06, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
