Hi,

In this item the property Characters (P674) has been used for a non-fiction literary work, whereas the property is said to be related to works of fiction. Now, I am confused, if  P674 is allowed for non-fiction or not?

I am also finding difficulty to propose a name for the new property for non-fiction characters, shall it be ''Characters in non-fictions'' or is there any specific term for it?

Help needed.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, Bodhisattwa, you want the same thing as P674 but for people and non-fiction (instead of character and fiction).
AFAIK, that doesn't exist yet but you should ask for it (on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal ).

Aren't they just called people? What are you looking to achieve?
I predominantly use P805 where it is a chapter, or biographical entry about a person, so if you can give more context

Subject: [Wikisource-l] Wikidata property for non-fiction characters

Hi,

is there any Wikidata property for characters depicted in non-fiction literatures? I found Properties like characters (P674) for fictions, depicts (P180) for works like paintings, main subject (P921) for primary topic of a work, but couldn't find something for non-fictions. Am I missing something?
