Is this useful?

[edit]

I appreciate that this is the fact that appears on a death certificate, but does it really tell us anything? For example, someone meeting their demise on a day trip to Spain - (Born:London, Died:Torremolinos). Their data now suggests they had emigrated!? There is nothing in place for "residence at time of death". Periglio (talk) 10:11, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is useful for disambiguation. Many sources keep track of dates and places of birth and death, so when matching people it is good to know. --Jarekt (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

added P969 (P969) as an allowed qualifier

[edit]

... to let people know of this additional qualifier.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've also added coordinate location (P625) as a permitted qualifier - we occasionally know where someone died by coordinates rather than a formal address (particularly if it was at sea). Example at John Gane (Q26218387). Andrew Gray (talk) 14:10, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Too narrow

[edit]

I've edited Cesare Bossi (Q15079873). He died while in prison, but P20 doesn't like that. People can die anywhere: in an elevator in a department store, while conducting an orchestra in a concert hall, while performing on stage. Thus I think P20 has to allow for a much broader interpretation of place of death. - Kosboot (talk) 15:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I added battle (Q178561) as Template:Q21510865 as I said in another discussion I feel we need to be able to support mobile phones as i inputs devices and Wikidata should answer in what window lived or died a person see video / discussion were I spoke about this Wikidata:Property_proposal/place_of_resident_registration_at_death - Salgo60 (talk) 10:47, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Place/Location of death

[edit]

Thanks to all for recognizing my previous query and revising the property that now allows that one can die in all sorts of places. But now I'm wondering does the property need a specific geographic location? In the case above, Bossi died in King's Bench Prison which was located in London. Does there also need to be a property "geographic location of death", or does the specific building function also as a geographic locator? - Kosboot (talk) 13:51, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This property is intended to be some specific geographic location. I don't think we can use it like for "prison". Where is concensus for this? Probably some qualifier would be better, or a new property. --Infovarius (talk) 01:10, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Allan Hubbard (Q4730709) died in a rescue helicopter while being transferred from one hospital to another. This property allows you to die at sea (Q55438959) or in orbit (Q4130), but not in flight (Q52932736). Should we fix that? Schwede66 (talk) 04:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

added applies to name of object (P8338) as an allowed qualifier

[edit]

Qualifier added to indicate the name of the location at the date of death if it has since changed (like an hospital building which was later reconverted). Obviously the name should be among those listed on the place entity page (and ideally it could be deduced if those names have an associated known time span) --FoeNyx (talk) 15:29, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
