I think James Heald is on the right track, that we should be thinking about a different or new property.  This is a valuable thing to track, and we should work to find a solution that is satisfactory to everyone, and that lets this positive effort continue.

(Black Lunch Table is a bit of a sui generis, it's an independent cataloging effort that began off-wiki as a project among artists, but is mostly wiki-based now.)

Thanks,

Better to use P4570, or a new bespoke property, since the things these people are being tagged to be part of, or participants in, like "Black Lunch Table", are not external real-world things, but internal wiki-world projects.

It is useful to maintain a distinction between the two -- it helps to avoid the confusion that has been the root of the issue with P972.

"relatedness" or "tagging" is typically handled generically in Wikidata

They work terrifically well to apply some generic classification needs such
as those of the Black Lunch Table efforts.

So, an alternative to the current modeling could be...

Are they only persons ?  if so, mark them as "participant of" ->
"Q28781198" Black Lunch Table
Are the topics needing some "tagging" for classification sometimes more
than persons ?  if so, mark them as "part of" -> "Q28781198" Black Lunch
Table
