- Weak support I am wondering whether the better name could be is a quantity of, to be bit more generic. John Samuel (talk) 07:57, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thought of that, but number sounds/is understandable better IMO. Lectrician1 (talk) 14:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support. This query shows 53 candidates for migration. Swpb (talk) 17:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose creating a new property for 53 uses seems excessive and leaves the question of what the new P31 of the items will be. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Would you be okay with using has part(s) (P527) instead or do you have another idea? Lectrician1 (talk) 13:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- The P31 or P279 value would still be number of entities (Q614112), just without the of (P642) qualifier that we're migrating away from, which would be replaced by a main statement with the proposed property. Swpb (talk) 14:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment @ChristianKl: The number of entities which could use this property is not finite, so 53 would just be the beginning. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 23:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

- Support - Moving away from of (P642) to a distinct property is a good idea. I think the name could be improved ('enumerates'?), but this can evolve with actual use and should not hang up property creation. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 23:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support per Swpb and Josh Baumgartner's comments. I also think "enumerates" is a bit better. TiagoLubiana (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
