4 !votes in the Salvador Dali discussion, two of them very skeptical, none of the skeptical points addressed.
Don't you think property creation might have been premature here?

Hi Jheald,
Sorry if this seems premature for you! Formally speaking, I can only see two votes there, both of which are support votes.
In the interest of making your skepticism about the proposal clearer, it would be great if you could use the {{Oppose}}, {{Wait}} or {{Comment}} templates next time - that really helps assessing the status of a proposal.
The property was marked as ready for creation by Thierry Caro and my creation was based on his assessment, so I suggest you direct your complaints to him too. I personally have no opinion about this particular property, but I suspect it would not get deleted if nominated at WD:PFD (but that should not deter you from trying of course).
It might be worth starting a more general discussion about the use of external ids to link to arbitrary websites - I also have mixed feelings about promoting random URLs to authority control identifiers. But that's beyond the scope of this particular case.
Cheers
Since Thierry Caro was the property's proposer, it was hardly for him to assess whether it was 'ready'. I don't think this was appropriate. Jheald (talk) 13:22, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Sure! Then I think WD:PFD is the way to go.
"Formally speaking, I can only see two votes there"
That's the problem; it's not a poll, and the result is not decided by simply counting votes.
Sure. Again I agree that it was premature to mark the proposal as ready, which has misled me into creating it. To prevent this from happening in the future, I will stop creating properties now.
