First-level administrative subdivision
[edit]The claim subclass of (P279) first-level administrative division (Q10864048) was removed by Alexsdutton arguing that according to Wikipedia, "The provinces of Ireland no longer serve administrative or political purposes, but function as historical and cultural entities.". Since the instances of province of Ireland (Q202156) are exactly the first-level subdivisions stated in ISO 3166, this would imply that the ultimate authority for the definition of "First-level administrative subdivision" is Wikipedia and not ISO 3166. It that a useful approach? Whether a first-level subdivision is an "administrative" one is a matter of opinion for a lot of countries. It seems to me that the concept of first-level administrative division (Q10864048) becomes useless if we refuse to recognize ISO 3166 as an authority.--RV1971 (talk) 22:38, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Alexsdutton: For the moment I have restored the claim. If you think ISO 3166 is wrong, please explain further on this discussion page, taking into account that according to Wikidata:Verifiability "Wikidata is not a database that stores facts about the world, but a secondary knowledge base that collects and links to references to such knowledge."--RV1971 (talk) 09:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
- Where does ISO say that it's the "first-level administrative country subdivision" rather than just a "country subdivision? --- Jura 15:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
