Motivation
[edit]I was looking for causes of "people with DOI" errors. Consider John Barker (Q21165636). He has DOI 10.1098/rsbm.1972.0003, which is not just wrong, but also caused Citationgraph bot to add 6 "cites work" links to that person, which is doubly wrong.
I think we need a distinct external ID to avoid using DOI on person. I don't know why the Royal Society doesn't use the 2 existing Royal Society IDs in those biographical pages.
There are already many examples of eliminating DOIs in favor of specific external IDs, eg
- Oxford Dictionary of National Biography ID (P1415), see https://iw.toolforge.org/quickstatements/#.2Fbatch.2F82756
- Grove Art Online ID (P8406)
- IUPAC Gold Book ID (P4732), see Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#RFD:_delete_IUPAC_GOLDBOOK_entities_"scholarly_article"
Could you notify people working on Biographies and on Royal Society data? I don't know the appropriate projects.

Discussion
[edit]- Support These are essentially obituaries, right? So the DOI represents that particular article, not the person (if it were considered notable we could have a Wikidata item for these, with the actual author etc. listed, if any). Anyway, they shouldn't be represented as a DOI for the person, that's definitely wrong here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:40, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
