This is a major database for company. Note all pages need a subscription to view. Some IDs are derived from other identifiers, e.g. IBM (Q37156) from IRS Employer Identification Number (P1297), Toyota (Q53268) from Corporate Number (Japan) (P3225). GZWDer (talk) 17:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a commerical database. However for many companies, commerical databases like this are only meaningful information source.--GZWDer (talk) 16:28, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are there examples of other site wikidata links to, that aren't accessible without subscription? And are these identifiers derived the same way as OpenCorporates ID (P1320)? Also I think if there is no way to check if the identifiers are actually linking to the correct items, it could be considerd unverifiable. --Kristbaum (talk) 20:58, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
