Is it really an item of class Q618779?[edit]

I see the problem here. Honoris causa is in fact not an item but property: it is not a separate award or degree but a sort of some awards/degrees. A person might hold the degree of Q752297, Q2248352, Q837343, Q17379493 and so on assigned to them honoris causa, i.e. without providing required thesis etc. So I would argue that this is in fact an item of class Q189533, and the proper use of it for the persons must be as a qualifier for any of aforementioned (and some other) degrees within the property academic degree (P512){{{2}}}{{{3}}}.
