Discussion[edit]
- We already have social classification (P3716).--GZWDer (talk) 14:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Strong oppose setting aside the existence of P3716, it is likely to be a vector for targeting and abuse of individuals. Mahir256 (talk) 17:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)- It's not clear if the intention is to apply to historical cases, or living individuals. It would definitely be concerning to apply to the living, unless self-identified I guess. But social classification (P3716) should be sufficient anyway. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
