Hi! I believe wikidata entry Q14820911 should be merged into Q169960. The first entry, Q14820911, is about a gene OXT, but the only link is to an enwiki article on the hormone produced by that gene. The second entry, Q169960, is exactly about the hormone. I wasn't able to add a link to w:Oxytocin to the entry Q169960, and I suppose the two entries should be merged. Decided to ask first, 'cause I don't have much experience with Wikidata. --Sergey WereWolf (talk) 14:17, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The rationale is that for chemicals and drugs, the stuff which is chemically different should have 2 different items. In this case, we have an item for gene and one for the protein produced by the gene. This is fine. Then there is an item for the drug. As biotech drugs are usually modified from their in vivo original, it might be chemically different, so it has to be determined first if it is chemically the same and only if it is the same, it should be merged.
