I tried to be a bit clearer on what are my doubts. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal#Comments_III
I still think that we should think before at the purposes of Wikidata pages (eg metadata for infoboxes and templates), and then define the metadata. Because as FRBR teach us there are at least 4 "levels" to think of a book, and the metadata needed for these levels are different.

All of these are standardized descriptors, which are conventionally used in formal library cataloging, and can easily be determined from standard sources. In some cases, the standard library descriptor conflicts with the general rules in a particular WP for such things as names of people or places. (for example, the rule for place of publication in US cataloging is to transcribe it as given on the object.) But in reference links at enWP we've been following the cataloging in the book description, even if it conflicts with what we would use as an article title; I imagine the intention is to continue that practice.
The only questions I can foresee is whether we need all the fields, & whether we should have others as well. I'll comment there where I think I have something worth saying.

I don't understand if this is or will be in a "poll" phase or not. Also, what exactly should be done about this mess of proposals for item types?
