Motivation[edit]
We currently have GNIS Antarctica ID (P804) for Antarctic locations, which is the gazetteer run by the US Geological Survey, one of about twenty bodies that names sites in Antarctica. This is a database run by the Australian government. The suggested identifier is the single unique "place ID", which maps to the database. Deror avi (talk) 08:15, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
@Deror avi: I think we already have this as Australian Antarctic Gazetteer ID (P3626). However, after looking at it for a bit more, I think that property may have some problems as well - it seems to have one entry per name (ie entry in a national gazetteer) without actually having an identifier for a place. Merrick Glacier (Q23906) currently links to #488, the entry in the Australian gazetteer; your suggested link is #128817, the entry in the US gazetteer. They're crosslinked (apparently via the SCAR database entry) but there's no single entry for "Merrick Glacier", and there's no way to tell from the ID that this is "the Australian record" rather than one of the others, unfortunately.
