Comment it looks like this is not an identifier for a business (Q4830453) but rather for its industry (P452) − Pintoch (talk) 08:28, 25 October 2017 (UTC)- @ChristianMoore, Vladimir_Alexiev: Can you address the concerns Pintoch brought up? ChristianKl (talk) 11:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Support David (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2017 (UTC)- Pintoch MCC is used to classify the business by the type of goods or services it provides. MCCs are assigned by merchant type (e.g. one for hotels, one for office supply stores, etc.) or by merchant name (e.g. 3000 for United Airlines). So it is actually both.
