Discussion
  •  weak support - the classification of cases a language has seems useful without straying too far into linguistic information that is Wiktionary's domain. I'm not sure though whether analysing which languages have the most cases is entirely valid the further from Indo-European languages you get? Thryduulf (talk) 22:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  oppose - External sites and data already contain this information your looking for, such as WALS that has CC-BY data, where we already have the WALS lect code (P1466) that should ideally be filled in for all languages. I would say, its more useful to fill that property instead of creating this new property. Thadguidry (talk) 16:17, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how the fact that an external site contains this information means that Wikidata shouldn't have it. ChristianKl (talk) 19:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
