I know that church has a property of 'located in the administrative territorial entity' but would it be worth adding in county (e.g. Hampshire etc)?  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by SkymasterUK (talk • contribs) at 14:31, 14 February 2018‎ (UTC).[reply]

  •  Oppose (Historical note -- when Wikidata started, there were properties for various levels of administrative hierarchy. These were quite soon abolished, in favour of the P131 tree being used to provide the information implicitly).
So now the church ought to have located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) pointing to its local civil parish. From there it is easy enough for queries or for infoboxes to go up the tree until they get to something that is instance of (P31) ceremonial county of England (Q180673) or an equivalent level in other countries.
For human beings, it should be enough to add the county in the description at the top of the item. Jheald (talk) 15:27, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jheald you make some good points there and so that is OK by me. Just thought I'd ask. SkymasterUK (talk)
