•  Support Countless notable people with this identifier now. Note: The usernames are currently the same as Instagram usernames, but that might change in the future. Still need to sign up to have this identifier, so it shouldn't be a problem. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 14:44, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

• Weak  Support, even if it is exactly the same as the Instagram usernames, it still useful as not all Instagram usernames are active as the Threads usernames. That said, Threads just as been creating, not sure how things (and especially the usernames) will evolve, we could have wait a little bit more, there is no hurry.

•  Strong oppose unless someone can explain why keeping this in addition to instagram usernames is needed. if they become different in the future we can add the property then. BrokenSegue (talk) 05:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  You don't get a Threads account by default, but when you sign up you're forced to have the same username as your Instagram right now. They're different identifiers, just with overlapping values, but not applicable to everybody with an Instagram. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 15:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

  I guess? It just feel redundant. I can go to  Neutral BrokenSegue (talk) 23:21, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
