Hi, Yes, this ISNI is clearly wrong - that is because the VIAF id it was derived from is wrong too. In that case, the appropriate course of action is to remove both. Cheers!
Via Grid: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q30261243&type=revision&diff=504471657&oldid=503457250 , Cheers
BTW: ISNI itself contains nonsense too. :-)
Yes, GRID makes mistakes sometimes too. Thanks for your work!
But still VIAF and ISNI can help in merging and identifying.
Why ISNI for a book? https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q971767&diff=441209905&oldid=433405492
that was also derived from a VIAF ID (which was removed in the mean time)
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1646992&diff=440968630&oldid=415168136 , probably based on VIAF, and that came from unreliable German Wikipedia.
Would you be interested in Wikidata:WikiProject ISNI? The ISNI DB itself has a lot of issues and sometimes the ISNI-IA refuses to fix (sic!).
The ISNI you added to an item about a museum is an ISNI identifying a human https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q30290931&type=revision&diff=504450528&oldid=503543947
yes, that's an issue that comes from the GRID database apparently :) Why not a WikiProject ISNI, yes, it would be great!
