Discussion

•  Support, important property from its point of view.--Arbnos (talk) 20:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
•  Support, could be useful for Podcasts --Shisma (talk) 13:21, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
•  Support @Tom Morris: How can a entity have 'Patreon' as a business model? --Trade (talk) 10:52, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

  @Trade:: Perhaps the business model of something like "donations", "patronage" or "crowdfunding" may be better, with Patreon (or equivalent) as a qualifier. —Tom Morris (talk) 11:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

  @Tom Morris: I can imagine that donation (Q1124860) would conflict with copyright license (P275): freeware (Q178285) and donationware (Q10267). --Trade (talk) 14:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

• The only allowed values should be instances of business model (Q815823). ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:48, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
• @Tom Morris, Arbnos, Shisma, Trade, ChristianKl:  Done. --Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 02:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
•  Support, I think this is important context to add to an item. I'd also add that nonprofit organization (Q163740) should be allowed under this property? I'm nor sure why that presents a warning? --Phifty (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
