•  Oppose - seems to be awfully empty. - Brya (talk) 05:36, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

  That is true for a lot of the entries, although that is true for more databases having an external identifier. What I should have added is that the database at hand is linked to a couple of times at enwiki. Lymantria (talk) 06:20, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

  @Brya: The site reports 780541 entries. What were you reffering to as empty? --Kristbaum (talk) 08:40, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

  By "empty" I mean, lots of entries, very little actual content. - Brya (talk) 04:29, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

  I can understand Brya's point, but on the other hand for instance here it offers a photograph on Coquillettidia richiardii (Q13852200) wikidata doesn't have and here it has an entry on Eritini (Q676690) on which wikidata does not have an identifier. So in my honest opinion this identifier does add to wikidata. Lymantria (talk) 09:14, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Weak support - while some of the entries are "empty", I think it could still be useful to have --DannyS712 (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
