Motivation
[edit]sgpbusiness.com is a long-running (10+ year) directory of Singapore companies and locations, built on ACRA and Singapore government open data. The proposed identifier gives Wikidata items a stable, resolvable link to the authoritative directory page for a Singapore company (or a notable street). For companies the identifier embeds the government-issued Unique Entity Number (UEN), so it pairs naturally with Singapore Unique Entity Number (P13194) — which most Singapore company items still lack. The formatter URL resolves (HTTP 302) to the canonical page. This is the reverse direction of an existing read-only Wikidata→sgpbusiness identifier pipeline.

[edit]
Support and agree on not implying notability. Good to have another org identifier. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:19, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
