Planned use | I realized this was missing when filling out the identifiers for Cloudflare (Q4778915). I'm not a prolific editor, so I'm not planning on backfilling this information into many other pages, but it should be added to Wikidata:WikiProject Companies/Properties so that future additions and edits can be made aware this a property that can be added. |

Motivation
editWe have properties for entity file numbers in many other jurisdictions. I figure Delaware is a great place to start for adding American entity file numbers, since (according to the Delaware Division of Corporations (Q87326346)) more than 66 percent of the Fortune 500 are Delaware corporations.

Discussion
edit- Support Yes Delaware is one of the main places corporations are registered in the US. Is there a formatter URL that would allow linking to more information about these id's (and confirming them)? ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

- Comment these ids can be linked through OpenCorporates (Q7095760) e.g. https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/4710875 -- Nintendofan885T&Cs apply 21:11, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support It doesn't seem the official site can accept query strings. I think using the formatter https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_de/$1 mentioned by Nintendofan885 is a good idea. Chchowmein (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
