•  Comment In the case of museums and galleries, why not use collection (P195) with the start time (P580)/end time (P582) qualifiers? Lewis Hulbert (talk) 04:12, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose seems to be redundant. We seem to be doing just fine with qualifiers. Multichill (talk) 21:02, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

@Multichill and how does this just fine way with qualifiers work? --Andrawaag (talk) 09:15, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose I can see how Multichills solution with qualifiers works but not how this proposed property should work. Acquisition date is only a valuable information if it comes together with the information of whom aquired the object. This is only possible to add if qualifiers are used. As an example of how this can be done is on Q1437492#P195. --Pasleim (talk) 09:48, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose doesn't seem to fit in current approach. --- Jura 06:45, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose. Use qualifiers. --Yair rand (talk) 02:26, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per Pasleim. Use Owned by for current owner or Significant event for previous acquisitions. Just a date is obviously not sufficient to describe a Provenance event --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 22:37, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per Pasleim. --Infomuse (talk) 00:42, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
