The Minerals.net (Q121890280) website is a free informational and educational guide to rocks, minerals, gemstones, and jewelry. "This site has been providing detailed information and photos of hundreds of mineral and gemstone since 1997 and is one of the leading education resources on minerals and gemstones." Information includes a description of each gemstone, chemical formula, color, hardness, crystal system, refractive index, specific gravity, transparency, luster, cleavage, and mineral class, uses, varieties, sources, similar gemstones, and photographs.

- Oppose as we don't have any identifiers here, I'd rather see this similar to ScienceDirect topic ID (P10376), New York Times topic ID (P3221) or Encyclopædia Britannica Online ID (P1417), i.e. as a one property for both minerals and gemstones (so instead of a value 'amethyst_gemstone', it should be 'gemstone/amethyst_gemstone'). I see no reason to create two properties for a private page. Wostr (talk) 22:42, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Wostr, I see what you're saying here, that these two minerals.net proposals could be one property and include gemstone/ and mineral/ at the start of the values. I can't think of a solid reason why users might prefer two properties over a single combined one. If these URLs are persistent URIs, I think they count as identifiers, and I don't know what the private vs. public status of the page has to do with the number of properties we create for a data source, but I think your suggestion to combine these two property proposals makes sense. --Crystal Yragui, University of Washington Libraries (talk) 15:09, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment I've combined the two properties into a single one at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Minerals.net_mineral_ID. AdamSeattle (talk) 22:35, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
