Motivation

This is a basic property needed for newspaper and the likes. It differs from number of subscribers (P3744) because of course newspapers can be bought on the go and also because they can reach other readers after the subscriber has read them. The property will likely be used with qualifiers such as statement supported by (P3680), I guess. Thierry Caro (talk) 20:47, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

• Your example doesn't specify a timeframe. Is that intentional? ChristianKl (talk) 13:41, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Well, most of the time this will come with a date qualifier, of course. Thierry Caro (talk) 17:07, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Comment Are you distinguishing "readership" from print circulation (Q759811)? - PKM (talk) 01:33, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @PKM: Yes, I am. The readership of a title has no direct relation to its print circulation (Q759811). A single copy of a magazine can be read 70 times if it rests in a dentist's waiting room. Thierry Caro (talk) 11:41, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
    • Note that there is also property proposal for circulation (Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic#print_run).--Jklamo (talk) 13:11, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
