•  Oppose instance of (P31) = obituary (Q309481) or genre (P136) = obituary (Q309481), and main subject (P921) = Qxxxx. Jheald (talk) 20:29, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

  Indeed, Jura1, ArthurPSmith and Jheald. But what about review items? Isn't review of (P6977) redundant with genre (P136) review (Q265158) too? Thanks in advance for your explanations, Nomen ad hoc (talk) 20:48, 5 August 2019 (UTC).

  Jheald was opposed to review of (P6977) and I didn't comment on the proposal. Nevertheless, the proposers gave some coherent arguments there about how main subject wasn't appropriate. I think the case for the sufficiency of "main subject" is much clearer here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:54, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

  • I didn't support that either, but for that I haven't really edited 1000s of items to a different format. --- Jura 22:48, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

  OK, thanks for prompt responses. Let's give it up. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 22:55, 5 August 2019 (UTC).
