Motivation
(Add your motivation for this property here and your signature)
This will be somewhat useful for water bottles. We want units to be accessible for all for those that don't use metric units, but we will also have to make accessibility for people that don't use non-metric units. To prevent too much accessibility, this one can be used as a qualifier, but not in the main or reference fields. Also, this could be used for certain properties when using it during inside statements, including "volume as quantity", "length", "width", "height", "area", and "mass". However, this cannot be used inside statements during the property "storage capacity". The US standard units can be used, but not for metric units. As described in mathsisfun.com and nist.gov, those will be considered metric units and will be considered to be allowed:
- Liquids: "fluid ounce", "cup", "pint", "quart", "gallon" (Source: source)
- Mass (Weight): "ounce", "pound", "ton" (Source: source)
- Length: "inches", "feet", "yard", "mile" (Source: source)
- Temperature: "degree", "Fahrenheit", "Celsius", "Kelvin" (Sources: source 1 | source 2)

To prevent too much accessibility for a certain group and too little accessibility for the other, I'd like to say I would be good at suggesting it. Solaris5296 (talk) 15:46, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
The link for what units are unacceptable for this property: [1]. However, Celsius and Kelvin would be acceptable at this property. Solaris5296 (talk) 15:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Discussion
Oppose No valid examples were provided. In addition unit-conversion is not something that need to be stored in the data and can be done on demand. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)- I am now unwilling an administrator or a property creator to create this property, due to the fact that the property is based on quantity. In addition, I will have to say user experiences may be totally unsatisfied with this property. In addition, I had withdrawn the first two I did suggest on Wikidata, "Water bottle volume" and "Is it metric?". But now I'm suggesting this property and the property "PhoneScoop phone ID" to be created, but I'm unwilling an administrator or a property creator to create such a property like that. I will like to say that this property will be unlikely to be created on the behalf of this property proposal. I'd like to say that if people were satisfied with this property proposal because it makes people that don't use metric units and used the US Standard units instead be accessible having this, but unfortunately, user experiences are generally unfavorable. Much like I said, I will say to have a
Weak oppose, but not a strong opposition or whatsever. However, despite the opposition not being strong, I would not be likely to support this property proposal. Solaris5296 (talk) 14:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
