Planned use	Use the property for denoting the fanbase group's name, mostly selected by the artist, or by their fanbase by participating in a poll.

I've noticed that there's no property for denoting a fanbase's name. With this property, one could simply put the fanbase's name item for it. CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 18:48, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be an item? this is multilingual and many other names may exist.--GZWDer (talk) 01:38, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could work like name (Q82799), but property-wise it would work like the P1559 (name in native language) property, where the title can be displayed in the native language. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 08:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We have a lot of items describing fandoms, for example, bronies (Q3739215), Harry Potter fandom (Q388591), Tolkien fandom (Q1963025), beliebers (Q326129), Browncoat (Q4976458); we can just change the labels for each language, and link these items with a <fandom> property. I think using "x fandom" as a label is wrong, that looks more like a description. --Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 00:46, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Items would be better than a name string. One could also simply use instance of (P31)fandom (Q773944)of (P642)<something> like this. --Haansn08 (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With this, the fanbase group item could be used in a statement on the artist / celebrity / group's item page. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 22:03, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Tinker Bell. --Hannes Röst (talk) 16:10, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support support the new proposal, I think the name of the property needs to be changed as well. --Hannes Röst (talk) 17:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Tinker Bell: this property would be the "fandom" property, which then would link to the fandom item. I hope it's going to be good from now on. I'll update the examples to reflect this change soon.
