Status: This Page is Glorious History!
The content of this page either is bit-rotted, or has lost its reason to exist due to some new features having been implemented in MusicBrainz, or maybe just described something that never made it in (or made it in a different way), or possibly is meant to store information and memories about our Glorious Past. We still keep this page to honor the brave editors who, during the prehistoric times (prehistoric for you, newcomer!), struggled hard to build a better present and dreamed of an even better future. We also keep it for archival purposes because possibly it still contains crazy thoughts and ideas that may be reused someday. If you're not into looking at either the past or the future, you should just disregard entirely this page content and look for an up to date documentation page elsewhere. |
Historical Information
In the past, it was not possible to keep distinct artist records with the same ArtistName. This page was created to keep track of ArtistNames that had multiple artist's work associated with them.
If the artists have very similar names but are not identical, this should be noted in the ArtistAnnotation.
In the past they were also listed on NotDuplicateArtists. The purpose of this page was to record cases in which two artists had really identical names, so that the artists can be split, variant names corrected, and/or bogus qualifiers removed.
- The idea of "similar but not identical" has been (ab)used to distinguish the artists if there are variant ArtistAliases for either of the artists' names. For example, if one of the artists is from a country where a non-Roman alphabet is used, you can use the non-Roman form of the name, as has been done with Polish pop-metal group Turbo and Korean K-pop group Turbo. Cases like that should be listed both [http:#variants here] and as NotDuplicateArtists.
There is a (rather complicated) description on how to enter new artists [http:#new at the bottom of the page].
Discussion
This page will hopefully soon become obsolete now that it's possible to have different artists with the same name.
How do you think we should handle the shift? When artists have been split, I suggest they should be moved to NotDuplicateArtists --ZeroGravitas
- That seems like the best solution; once all the artists have been split and moved there, this page should provide documentation on how the discriminator comment stuff should be used. @alex Agreed. That's the approach I've taken with the ones I've broken up. Now that we have the ability for comments to discriminate this page has become something of a to-do list, yes? Dylan

Artists differentiated by qualifiers (possible style violations)
- Avalon
- U.S. Contemporary Christian singing group (http://www.avalonlive.com/)
- German progressive metal band (http://www.omegarecords.de/avalon/)
- There are at least 3 electronic artists with this name; the best-known is the Belgian ambient musician (if you can mix in fast beats, hard-trance progression, and vocals and still call it ambient) Tim Handels (http://users.compaqnet.be/avalon/)
- Avalon 1
- might actually be part of the name (who are they?)
- I've seen the Belgian Avalon (see above) miscredited as Avalon1 on many MP3s, probably because his link at the old mp3.com was www.mp3.com/avalon1, but he's never used that name on any releases or press that I've seen. If this is where the confusion comes from, this should be moved up to the identical section.

- Description of artist (discography URL)
- [http:#badqualifiers More Other Artists (Qualified)]
The main and second-level bullet points should have a link to the MusicBrainz artist page. Comments should be in the third-level bullet points, before an artist discography link, if any. Please try to avoid use of All Music Guide (AMG) and Amazon links as they are long in text, but short in lifespan, since they keep changing their systems.
For now, use the URL form (http://www.musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=36481) rather than the PermanentLink form (http://www.musicbrainz.org/artist/cc6fed9a-a14b-46e1-a5b0-97f740e66e6a.html); if it turns out to be easier to process the latter form, we can easily convert the entries later on.
