We used to use P107 with Q215627 i.e. 'Main Type:Person' with 'Person' defined by the GND categorisation system so that it includes mythical and fictional persons as well as humans.

After a lot of discussion we agreed that person was too general so now we use 'instance of:human' and 'instance of:fictional character' and other similar statements. P107 is being removed - only 93 000 to go.

Read the description of Q215627: "being, e.g. a human, that has certain
capacities or attributes constituting personhood (not for use with "instance
of" [P31], instead use "human" [Q5])"
