Yes to exactly this part of your email:
"Gerard and I thought we had
consensus on this, but apparently not. We need to find some solution that
will address all concerns."
The rest of your email is irrelevant to using the property for "catalog"
on person items on Wikidata when there is no catalog. Please just publish
the catalog somewhere and then link to it from your "Black Lunch Table"
item. If you don't have a catalog and the project itself is building the
catalog, then this property is definitely the wrong way to go. I have tried
to read through the material you made available, but I still don't see why
this project needs any special property at all when you can create listeria
lists from unordered lists of item numbers. If you have a list anywhere on
a Wikipedia project, you can also run queries using Petscan.

First off, thanks so much for the support and
assistance in
understanding the work being done here. Thanks to those editors who
restored the wholesale deletion of the catalog property.
Secondly: While the Black Lunch Table is unique in both its scope and
outreach, other projects are using the category in actual "real-world
things." They are not internal WikiProjects.
An example of this is the GLAM project for Colección Patricia Phelps de
Cisneros (CPPC). CPPC is a large and active private Latin American art
collection that is improving coverage of Latin American artists on the
projects, with the intention of adding at minimum articles in English,
Spanish, and Portuguese. Which is why Wikidata is so helpful, for it's
language neutral interchangeability of the scaffolding of metadata and the
establishment of notability via VIAF and other identifiers.
The CPPC GLAM project has multiple task lists and SPARQL queries in
Listeria tables. CPPC also plans on doing an image donation to the Commons
in the next 6-12 months as the project develops and as full metadata is
collected and implemented in the most robust Wikidata-centric way. But
first the publications and artist metadata needed to be populated.
Here's the task lists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:GLAM/Colección_Patricia_Phelps_de_Cisneros/Tasks
This is not a WikiProject, but is a GLAM (Galleries, Libraries,
Archives, Museums) initiative.
So should GLAM outreach and Wikipedia:Meetup projects like BLT have
something specially created to cover this type of outreach?
I believe that other potential outreach institutional partners would
want to be implementing usage of Wikidata in this way as well. With this
Wikidata-in-a-Box approach, the idea is to expand and improve upon common
outreach requirements (like task lists), setting up a replicable structure
and process that reduces administrative burden and doesn't require
re-inventing the wheel over and over again. Because the fact is that there
is definitely an exponential need for this work -- and this need is only
going to increase and expand in scope, hopefully. As long as things like
what happened here don't happen again and discourage this work and destroy
outreach efforts.
So it would help to have consensus of some type to support this outreach
going forward.
Gerard and I thought we had consensus on this, but apparently not. We
need to find some solution that will address all concerns.
Thanks again,
- Erika

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.
