=Performance Name of a Person= |
|||
A Performance Name is an alias used by a musician, for either marketing or other reasons. A particular person may have several Performance Names, and might also release material under their [[Legal Name|LegalName]]. |
|||
For this reason, it's sometimes necessary to create multiple separate artist entries for the same person in the database. |
|||
==How to relate these names?== |
|||
Performance names may be linked to [[Legal Name|LegalName]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s using the [[Performance Name Relationship Type|PerformanceNameRelationshipType]], relating both artist entries together. |
|||
==Style== |
|||
[[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s for performance names are kept under [[Performance Name Style|PerformanceNameStyle]]. |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">[[Artist:8a338e06-d182-46f2-bd16-30a09bc840ba|Elvis Costello]] is the Performance Name of [[Artist:4d3924ac-7dc4-4632-9058-553119d6b951|Declan Patrick MacManus]]. [[Artist:7f347782-eb14-40c3-98e2-17b6e1bfe56c|Bono]] is the Performance Name of [[Artist:7ec00194-c4d0-4532-835e-1077ca2869fc|Paul David Hewson]]. [[Artist:f22942a1-6f70-4f48-866e-238cb2308fbd|Aphex Twin]], [[Artist:87225a21-c925-41cd-852f-be4b052d0824|AFX]] and [[Artist:bc1fd2f7-1ecf-46d1-9ca6-47b7d7880c4d|Caustic Window]] are all Performance Names of [[Artist:79a09151-f6cc-48f9-9907-3fdd0b68373f|Richard David James]]. |
|||
</ul> |
|||
==Issues== |
|||
* There is some discussions about whether to duplicate the [[Artist Begin Date|artist birth date]] and [[Artist End Date|artist death date]] in both PerformanceName<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s and [[Legal Name|LegalName]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s (see [[Date Of Birth Style|DateOfBirthStyle]]). |
|||
* It's not clear what we should do when an artist has more than one legal name - that is, how should they be related together, and how should they relate to performance names. One proposal is at [[Linking Different Artist Names|LinkingDifferentArtistNames]]. |
