Motivation

There exists on commons often for wellknown persons a separate subdirectory with portraits. It would be nice to have a special property therefore (beside of the general Commons category (P373)). Arch2all (talk) 13:51, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

•  Support. I guess it's OK. Thierry Caro (talk) 22:55, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose. No, we already too many of these properties. Multichill (talk) 17:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose. This is why related category (P7084) was created. Use related category (P7084) with qualifier of (P642) = portrait (Q134307); and also category combines topics (P971) on the category item, with appropriate values. Jheald (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I added a related category (P7084) entry for the example Le Corbusier (Q4724) as You suggested, but I really believe portrait categories for persons are such a common usecase, that a special property (without the need for a qualifier) makes sense. --Arch2all (talk) 09:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
