  quantity (P1114) ⟨ the number ⟩

•  Oppose Please, Do Not Create Any New "number of XXX" Properties More, that's Dutchism. Per TomT0m we should use has part(s) of the class (P2670). --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 15:11, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose, per above. --Yair rand (talk) 20:59, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Support has part(s) of the class (P2670) is unable to model historic development and it is hard to query.--Jklamo (talk) 00:18, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

  @Jklamo: Wouldn't it still be possible to use start time (P580) and end time (P582) on has part(s) of the class (P2670) statements? I've done that for multiple statements of adjacent station (P197) with the same value; I think it would work here. Jc86035's alternate account (talk) 07:53, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment This property would probably suffer from a lack of clarity on what "station" means. Many systems count interchange stations differently, with some counting all interchange stations as one station and others counting one station for each line (and Bank/Monument in London and Hong Kong/Central in Hong Kong are counted separately in their systems despite each pair functioning as one interchange station). Given these differing definitions, has part(s) of the class (P2670) would probably work better because of the number of ways that "station" can be defined, although as with number of platform faces (P5595)/number of platform tracks (P1103) there could be one property for each definition. (It might also be desirable to count the number of request stop (Q813817) and the number of interchange stations and so on.) Jc86035 (talk) 09:37, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
