Discussion

•  Comment Are the values for this property identical to those for Indian Railways station code (P5696)? If so, then you may be better off adding a third-party formatter URL (P3303) to Indian Railways station code (P5696) with the appropriate etrain.info URL and withdrawing this proposal.

 Comment - @Mahir256:, I have not checked all the values. I have done some random checking and till now it corresponds with P5696. But, I cannot say for sure, that all the values would be the same. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 13:43, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Oppose Since we don't have a counter-example, there is no reason to assume this is not the same as Property:P5696. --Ysangkok (talk) 19:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
•  Strong oppose We must frankly change P5696 which has no point of reference to add the identifiers. This Property has no URL, no reference, etc. This proposal may be "closed" (in one way or another) after merging with P5696 to have at least one valid Property. property proposal discussion (P3254) with 2 propositions and a exception to constraint (P2303) → new_URL as an exception for two property proposal discussion (P3254), etc… That's two proposals not completed for any valid property. @Pintoch, Bodhisattwa:, so 1 Property to modify, please. —Eihel (talk) 03:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
  • @Eihel: sorry it is not clear what you want me to do? If you want to change a property I created, you should be able to do it yourself directly. If you want to delete it, it must be nominated at Wikidata:Properties for deletion. Thanks! − Pintoch (talk) 08:38, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
